Traditional Cantonese snack, 陳意齋 Chan Yee Jai

Our senior generation wouldn't find this shop a stranger. The shop has been famous for its various local snack including the dried shrimp roe vegetarian roll 蝦子扎蹄, bird's nest sweet cake, barley sweet cake and the classic almond drink as well as a wide selection of preserved snack. As I noticed they have a sugar-free almond drink, there I went in for shopping more than just for that. As it's going to be a dry season, our throat will get some itchy for some coughing. The below "winter" ginger is a good choice for itchy throat. Note that the almond drink has French translation.

Yummy. Someone should start thinking about importing these stuff to sell in KL too...

Here comes my good old friend.
Yes this place is a "must go" in my old days; and the almond drink is a "must drink".
Glad to see they still exist; also more varieties.

This brand was once very popular decades ago. Later on when more brands come in the market with new packing and more interesting varieties, it's a bit forgotten until in recent years, this brand has repackaged itself and opened more shops in a no. of malls.

I also remember their almond biscuit(the hard one in yellow white color) is very tasty.
