We visited a small shop on the corner of Jalan Nagor where they sell a variety of Chinese desserts - 43, in fact. Yeah, we counted.
It's a small teashop-type place called 糖朝 (tang chao; literally Sugar Dynasty), a clever play on words refering to the Tang Dynasty (唐朝), an imperial dynasty of China, as the Chinese word for 'sugar' and the 'Tang' in Tang Dynasty are homophones.
The shop offers an amazing variety of sweets, ranging from birds' nests to red bean recipes. Other than that, there are also a selection of non-sweet dishes such as spring rolls and a variety of rice dishes and noodle dishes.
The store also provides a delivery service, but only to the Pulau Tikus and Georgetown area.
The store-front. Don't touch the bike.
It's on the very corner of the street.

Business hours, just so you know.
From inside the shop. There's a non-smoking area deeper in.
The available options span 3 pages of their menu! And there's 43, count them.
Almond Jelly - RM3.50
Red Bean Pudding - RM3.50
Double-boiled Milk with White Fungus - RM3.50
Sweet Potato Tang Yuan (there's a dry variation of this) - RM2.50
We ordered four types of desserts to sample and greatly regretted it; the sweetness was overwhelming. So we ordered some spring rolls to neutralise the taste.
