‘Tiam-pan' tops Chinese New Year sell-outs
By Cedrina Norlaila Abd.

Popular festive Chinese delicacies known as "tiam-pan", or "kuih-bakol" in Malay, are selling out fast at several department stores and retail outlets throughout the country. In addition to the apparent high demand within the Chinese community in the run-up to the upcoming Chinese New Year (CNY) festivities, other people in the Sultanate have also been seen purchasing the aromatic cakes, either out of curiosity or for the genuine love of the taste. Tiam-pan is essentially made out of glutinous flour and brown sugar and its preparation involves a few hours of steaming.
