The story
On Jalan Masjid, just off Lebuh Chulia in George Town, Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its good quality, good value cooking. The name itself points to the Peranakan heritage: Nyonya koay refers to the colourful, coconut-milk-based cakes and snacks that are a cornerstone of Nyonya cuisine. The shop is known for its small eats—perfect for a quick bite or a midday snack—and is air-conditioned, a welcome respite in Penang’s tropical heat. The Bib Gourmand nod from Michelin for 2026 confirms that this modest spot delivers authentic flavours without pretension. It’s a place where tradition and taste meet, and it has become a fixture for locals and travellers alike who seek out genuine Nyonya fare in the heart of George Town.
