[2025 George Town Restaurant] Travel Guide for Ming Xiang Tai Pastry Shop (Updated Mar)

#wheretogo I decided to buy some pastries from here before leaving Penang. I was immediately fascinated by the old school decor of this place. There was a variety of pastries on the shelves and they all looked tempting to me. The store owner kindly explained the products and prices. I wanted to buy them all, but decided to buy 1 of each to try it out. I couldn't resist the temptation to try the pastry as soon as he got out from the shop. Every single item tasted so good. What I liked most was that the skin was crispy and the inside was rich and flavorful. If I visit Penang again, I will definitely go and buy more pastries as souvenirs!

#penang Ming Xiang Tai Pastry Shop is located at 26 Armenian Street, 10200 Georgetown, and is open daily from 0900-1800. It is around 400 meters 5 minutes walk from Weld Quay Jetty Bus Terminal. Ming Xiang Tai is one of the most treasured places that have been established over 30 years ago. It starts off as a small trishaw cart selling egg tarts, and now turned into famous pastry shops around Penang, and is the most common souvenir to bring home after your wonderful Penang trip The interior of the shop is designed in an authentic oriental style with some round wooden tables and chairs for customers to have herbal tea and their signature Trishaw egg tart.

Ming Xiang Tai Pastry(名香泰饼家) is located at Jalan Penang, George Town. Started business in 2008, they had 2 branches, one at Jalan Burma and another at Gat Lebuh Armenian, both in George Town too. When i passed by the shop, always tempted by warm, buttery smell of the pastry, the golden brown Cantonese-style shortcrust pastries in the display counter make me mouth-watering. My favourite are Trishaw Egg-tart(most popular item), Chicken Floss pastry, Durian pastry and Pandan Salted-egg pastry, they were tasty, crispy & less sweeten! I admired their nostalgic atmosphere, the 70's decor and playing with classic songs. Most tourists buy the pastries as souvenir for family and friends, well... price is affordable and their souvenir box is very presentable. Online rated 4.5/5. Open daily from 9.30am ~ 6.30pm. #tripblazers#mytripvlog#awesomepic#bucketlistreboot

If you visit Penang Island in Malaysia, you should try these local traditional sweets! This time, we will introduce the popular Penang shop "Ming Xiang Tai Mochiya"! ⭐️Review "Ming Xiang Tai Mochiya" is a Chinese baked goods shop that has been in business for over 40 years, and is famous for its egg tarts. It has been featured in the "Earth Walk Guide" and other publications, and is popular among Japanese people as well. I bought an egg tart and a pineapple and mango pie, and both were warm and really delicious! The egg tart was not too sweet, the dough was crispy, and the cream inside was not too sweet and creamy, so it was delicious that I could eat as many as I wanted. The other one was also filled with pineapple and had a rich aroma and was exquisite. There are many egg tarts that are particularly bad, so I recommend that travelers try the authentic taste here once 👍 If you are traveling to Penang Island, please stop by! 📍Location: 133, Jalan Burma, George Town, 10050 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia #Overseas travel strategy

Origin and development: Ming Xiang Tai is located in George Town, Penang, Malaysia. The founder's mother learned the craft of making pastries, and they initially baked wedding cakes at home to meet the needs of local residents and gained a good reputation. In 1979, his parents rode a tricycle to the center of Anshun to sell pastries. Later, in 2002, the family business developed into a dim sum restaurant, Deji Dim Sum Restaurant. Features and vision: This is a boutique specializing in traditional pastries, mainly selling traditional Cantonese pastries. The crust is crispy, and the taste is authentic. The shop is committed to promoting and passing on the traditional Cantonese pastry culture to future generations. The shop offers a wide variety of pastries, including chicken floss pastries, kaya puffs, salted egg yolk pastries, and kaya pastries. The kaya pastry has a crispy crust and a sweet and delicious coconut milk filling. Store distribution and environment: There are many branches in Penang, and the store style is antique. There is a dining room in the store, and a workshop in the back. The tables and chairs in the store are full of retro atmosphere, making it a good place for tourists to buy souvenirs and taste traditional pastries. Ming Xiang Tai's signature products: - Tricycle egg tart: This is one of Ming Xiang Tai's most popular signature products. The name commemorates the story of his parents riding a tricycle to sell egg tarts, which contains a strong sense of filial piety. The egg tart has a crispy crust and a rich milky filling with a smooth texture. - Salted egg pastry: The crust is crispy, and the filling has a rich salted egg flavor. It is a favorite dim sum for many customers, but if not eaten on the same day, the taste will decline. - Chicken pastry: The crust is crispy, crispier than the egg tart crust, with many layers. The chicken filling is very fragrant and not dry, and the overall taste is very good.
