Apom - pancake like snack; made from batter mixture of coconut milk (santan) and flour, egg and sugar:o)
Making of the Apom - batter is poured into a miniature wok
Several miniatures woks line the hot stove; apom is cooked when its brown and it's then folded into these...
Apom - thin and cripsy snacks . Almost as light as air, these snacks are dangerous as one can eat pieces and pieces of these without realising the damage till later or end up leaving none for their friends :o).
Here are some Banana Apom Balik in the making. A thicker and softer version, some grated coconut is added to the batter which is poured into the 9 piece apom mold.
Here's the Sweet Corn variety - which I prefer as I don't like the slightly sourish aftertaste of the banana variety.
Once they turn brown, it's folded into halves and whallah....
These Apom Balik beauties are ready to be eaten; just as "dangerous" as the thin Apom.
I normally get a bit of both as I can't decide which I like better! Best eaten warm and though a light snack; they can be quite a tummy filler as one can easily "overdose". Hahaha...Well, of course this can't beat the ones from Penang but as long as I'm in Petaling Jaya, this will be where I get my apom fix :P

Obviously, a snack can't be called a snack when you eat not 1 or 2 or 3 but an "uncountable" lot! - wmw

Aiks...food court also got telephone no?!
Now I know where to take my mum to after her medical check up. She's been craving for all those Penang stuff but I didn't know where to venture to except to our usual chee cheong fun & fried kueh teow at SS 2 and at Paramount. Thanks.
The soft version is my favourite but other than in Penang, it's so hard to find in KL/PJ.
