A traditional Cantonese handmade pastry shop that dates back a few generations. The business founder learnt the art of pastry making from his mother who was working in a dimsum teahouse, back in the heydays of tin-mining in Kampar. To honour their parents' first pushcart business built from a converted trishaw, the 3rd generation named their egg tarts Trishaw Egg Tarts. They can be bought at this shop in Georgetown.
