Hum Chin Peng, or deep fried yeast dough, is a Chinese-style bread snack traditionally consumed at supper time, but has become more and more popular as a breakfast item. Sometimes called the Chinese donut, the hum chin peng comes in two varieties, the salted version without any filling, and the one with tausah (red bean paste) filling. Both are deep fried to a golden brown. Hum chin peng is absolutely delicious when eaten hot over a cup of Penang black coffee.
Today most of the hum chin peng hawkers can be found in the vicinity of market place in the morning. Among the places you can find it selling include the market at Lip Sin and the one in Jelutong. There is also a traditional hum chin peng stall at Lebuh Cintra in George Town. It usually opens in the evenings only.

Ever want to build your own website? Do it the right way by using
Site Build It (SBI). It has all the tools and lessons necessary to help you create a successful website. Once you have built an SBI website, you can also use it to recommend SBI to others with an SBI Affiliate account. What I like most about SBI is that it gives you a whole month to try it out for free, and if you don't like it after a full month, you can seek a full refund. That way, you can see for yourself how SBI can really help you create a great website.
