Jaya Souvenirs Confectionery

Jaya Souvenirs Confectionery (14 July 2014)


Jaya Souvenirs Confectionery is a bakery along Siam Road in George Town, Penang. I only come across it today (14 July 2014) when I was caught in a traffic queue and happened to looked to the shop on my left, to see that it was a biscuit shop selling Tambun biscuits with durian filling. My wife and I quickly decided to give it a try, and I parked beside the shop while she went in to make a purchase.

Five minutes later, she came back two two boxes of Chinese pastries, and RM19.60 poorer. The first box was the "Durian pulp sweetheart cookie". It cost RM11.80 for six rather big puffy pastries. The other box has 12 "durian pulp double-filling Tambun biscuits", at RM7.80. The shop claims that the durian used was the Mor3sang3 Ong2, or Musang King, one of the highest grade local durians.

I brought the biscuit home and took some photos of it. I know it looks a lot like a biscuit advertisement, but I can't help the masak-masak before I try the biscuit. As at time of writing, I have only tried the durian pulp sweetheart cookie. It is quite puffy, and you could distinctly feel the durian pulp used in the cookie. But as each cookie cost almost RM2.00 and is gone in less than two minutes, I find it a bit extravagant.

On the other hand, I like the durian-pulp Tambun biscuit very much. It was freshly baked when we bought it, and they sealed the biscuits into the vacuum packs for my wife. When we opened up the packs, the biscuits were still crunchy. There was just a hint of the durian, so the durian aroma was not as heavy as we had expected. Nonetheless they were quite tasty.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
