Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay

Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay is a charming, old-school eatery in Penang that offers an authentic taste of Nyonya kuih in a delightfully rustic setting. Stepping inside feels like a journey back in time, with its vintage decor and traditional atmosphere. One unique aspect of the dining experience is walking through the kitchen to reach the seating area, where you can catch a glimpse of the kuih-making process. It’s clear that everything is prepared fresh daily, which adds to the appeal. The kuih selection is excellent—each piece is soft, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The Roti Jala (net pancakes) is another standout, perfectly light and paired well with curry. That said, don’t expect much personalized service here. The place is popular among both locals and tourists, so it’s often bustling with people coming and going. The staff are efficient but mostly focused on keeping up with demand rather than providing attentive service. Overall, Moh Teng Pheow is a must-visit for anyone craving traditional Nyonya kuih in an authentic, no-frills environment. Just be prepared for a casual, self-service experience amid the crowds. Great food and atmosphere, but service is minimal due to high traffic.

This dish delivers a genuine taste of tradition — rich, comforting, and deeply satisfying. The flavors are complex and well-balanced, clearly crafted with time-honored techniques. I especially loved the cassava kuih

Overall not bad, the environment cozy and price affordable, but I bought that kuih muih for take out, I have ordered both kuih of doubled set, but the staff only give me one set and charges me double price of it. So far the staff not carefully in work, after that I didn’t checked everything of takeout was correct or not before leaving the shop. Cashiers staff not friendly, looks as 欠她几百万 de face.

A Nonya kuih and grub house filled with nostalgia and heritage. Love the history and the process of ancient nonya cake making feel of the place. The way my grandma made it ... or secretly bought it to feed us kids. A must try if you love Malaysian cuisine.

We arrived late and the cafe was closed. But the owner was very nice and treated us some Nyonya cakes! They are all very delicious. My favorite one is the green-white one, it has a balanced taste of sweet and savory. Definitely worth a try!

I have visited this shop from time to time with friends from other states who wanted to try it. It used to be good but the quality has declined with each visit. Kuih Bingka Ubi is disappointing. It lacks cassava flavour, too much flour and overly sweet. Pulut Tai Tai, pulut inti, kuih bongkong, kuih koci santan nothing special, much better options available in Penang. Nasi Ulam lacks herbs and spices, it is disappointing. Drinks are overly sweet. The coffee has no rich aroma of coffee beans and the pandan honey tastes like sugary water with no real honey.

Must order nasi ulam, and all the kuehs + Kaya were amazing!! Fluffy roti Jalan as well. Authentic and simple food with a straight forward menu. Every kueh was amazing and a sure classic in penang!

Just buy the kuih and take away because the place is too crowded. kuih koci santan, panggang pulut rempah udang, kuih talam, bingka ubi, all taste good. But all so tiny in size and price is high.
