What's Apom Balik? It's Malaysia's very own traditional Pancake.
Wonder how good it tastes?
The one stall next to SJK (C) Union, Penang on Jalan Burma....
Well, picture this: Customers are willing to wait for an hour for 10 pieces of Apom Balik, only 10 small pieces.
There was once a customer who put an order of 200 pieces of Apom Balik and other customers were willing to wait for their turns. *Jaws drop*
This old man, the Apom Balik maker, can produce 9 pieces in 4 minutes. So let's say I order 20 pieces, it'd take only 9 minutes right?
As far as my memory can recall, only one in 6 times we were able to walk away with a bunch of Apom Balik in less than 5 mins. Longest? More than an hour.
But it's just too frustrating to walk away empty-handed 'cos this uncle's Apom Baliks are simply irresistible!
I manage to capture the apom balik-making process.
Here's some of the pics:
The Apom Balik is so soft, it melts in your mouth and you can totally taste the freshness of the banana slices.
Because he doesn't fill it with too many ingredients, you'll find it very pleasant to munch.
And, and it's not very sweet!
It's so good you can have 20 pieces in a Go!
Price: RM0.30/ piece
Setback: Its location. It's difficult to get a proper parking spot there, but you can always place your car in front of SJK (C) Union...with someone waiting in the car, of course.
