The Pepper Biscuit is very thin & crunchy.
You can see the thickness of the pepper biscuits
It is very difficult to transport as it breaks easily.
There is a history on the Pepper Biscuit in Penang. Mr Leong How Keng's father, Mr Leong Chee Kee came from Canton, China before World War II and invented the Coconut Tart, Egg Tarts and the Pepper Biscuits. There is a little booklet done by Anak-Anak Kota in collaboration with Penang Heritage Trust on Traditional Food.
