From a family-owned bakery to a well-known specialty shop in Penang today; from an entrepreneurial team of only three people in the past to a large-scale bakery with multiple branches, Wanxiang Bakery is indeed the designated must-visit store for many locals!

When it comes to pickled fruit stores in Penang, I definitely recommend Jeruk Madu Pak Ali! The store has expanded from a small business in 1985 to a preserved fruit manufacturer and wholesaler with branches in 12 states, which is amazing! There are many choices of pickled fruits here, such as mango, papaya, cardamom, guava, cucumber, etc. The sweet and sour taste is amazing, and they are all vacuum-packed, which is very convenient to carry back home; this is why it is the most popular among tourists. Favorite gift-giving choice!
