During my recent trip to Malaysia after our huge Bah Kut Teh breakfast in Kota Tinggi, Kev and I set off for our next destination… Malacca.

Walking down Jonker Street, we couldn’t help but notice this shop with a wide display of biscuits with various fillings. We were tempted but stuck to the choice of old fashioned Horse Hoof Biscuits or better known locally as Beh Teh Soh (马啼酥).
