GEORGE TOWN: The aroma of freshly baked walnut, cranberry and nam yee (red beancurd) biscuits wafts from the kitchen of Tan Phaik Hwei’s flat as the housewife carefully arranges her latest batch of biscuits into jars to be given out to the underprivileged.
The 47-year-old has been baking these treats from her small Ayer Itam flat for the past four years and the biscuits will be distributed to welfare and charity societies all over Penang by the Li Tek Ex-Pupils’ Association, which has raised funds to buy 824 jars.
