Apom @ Ming Tien Food Court,Taman Megah, P Jaya

A long time ago (yes, another post from my archive!) I introduced Precious Pea and Masak-masak to a favourite stall of mine located at Ming Tien Food Court in Taman Megah. I might have a problem ordering food from the many stalls located here but one stall that I never fail to get my favourite snack from will be from here...

Apom Stall
Apom - pancake like snack; made from batter mixture of coconut milk (santan) and flour, egg and sugar:o)
Making the Apom
Making of the Apom - batter is poured into a miniature wok
Apom
Several miniatures woks line the hot stove; apom is cooked when its brown and it's then folded into these...
Apom
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).

Apom Balik - Banana
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.
Apom Balik - Sweet Corn
Here's the Sweet Corn variety - which I prefer as I don't like the slightly sourish aftertaste of the banana variety.
Apom Balik
Once they turn brown, it's folded into halves and whallah....
Apom Balik
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.

"Joe" who is constantly craving said...

Ilene: Hey there!!!!!! When are we meeting up again? :o)

sweetcorn + dissected coconut (is that the correct term for "the shaved coconut flesh"?), is like the best, man.
