FOR umpteen years, Ghee Hiang has always been synonymous with tau sar pneah (fluffy pastry with green bean paste filling) and sesame oil.

Foreign and local tourists flock to the shop to buy them and a variety of other pastries, like beh teh saw (flaky pastry with sesame seed molasses), phong pneah (light fluffy pastry with white sugar) and hneoh pneah (flaky pastry with brown sugar).
