#92 Gunung Rapat Biscuit Hunt

Finally, the end is here! Not exactly the end of everything, just the end of my Ipoh food entries. So, what's better to end the gastronomical odyssey with an epic post about biscuit hunting around Gunung Rapat!

Gunung Rapat is well-known for its signature pastry - 'Heong Peah', which is translated as 'Fragrant Biscuit'. Prepared the traditional way, the confectionery consists of sweet, warm maltose enclosed by a crispy outer layer.

Our first stop was Seng Kee, a brand heavily recommended by locals, probably due to its quality without commercialisation. As you can see from above, flattened pieces of dough were inserted into a hollow baking 'well'. The doughs were adhered to the side before eventually turning golden brown, thus forming the flaky texture of the skin.

Crispy, fragrant and great TV snack...

Most of the establishments here were marked by their door numbers. Our subsequent visits were 362 Keong Kee Heong Peah....
