Irresistable Apoms
My favourite food - This is a tag from King’s Wife. The barn charn kueh she put up in her blog had me lau nuar on my keyboard. :P I like my barn charn kueh with brown sugar and lots of peanuts and drizzled with butter. **yummmiesss**
Anyone for apoms here? I like apoms...ahh...my comfort food.....so,I’ll put up 2 different types here.
Apom Manis – Made from a batter of rice flour, coconut milk, eggs and sugar. I like the ones with the soft and fluffy centre. Don’t quite take to the paper-thin ones…one bite and half of the apom breaks and falls onto the ground. ## both pics nicked from a good friend's archives. I am not really a 'tag' person...I am actually terrified of tags/memes..... so I won't be tagging anyone. However, all are welcome to contribute their favourite food here. Have a great weekend! **Start Copy** Proposition: What is your favorite food in your state or country? Requirements: Find some info about the food and show delicious pictures of it. Quantity: FIVE PEOPLE. Tag Mode: You leave their blog and post link and add to the list below. Mybabybay loves Asam Laksa from Penang, Malaysia Wuching loves Wood fired oven Pizzas! nyonyapenang loves Apoms
Apom Balik – Ahhh….This one lar, we call it apom balik in Penang. The original recipe of rice flour, fresh grated coconut, coconut milk and sugar comes with thin slices of ripe bananas…pisang raja is the best. Another variation comes with cream corn. Gimme the ones with bananas, anytime. Dr Chen, how many should we order?

hi angel,
there's also indian apoms (called apom manis also) whereby they scoop diluted sweetened coconut milk on the piping hot apoms. sedapss also.
can get at bangsar (ara kiri area) and also taman tun pasar malam.
at the moment have not found any stall selling awesome apom manis (the ones you likey). the few that i buy from are at morning markets and pasar malams, but it's too thin for my liking.

BTW, can get apoms over at your place?
You have a great weekend too. :)

Hello Nyonya, re Apom terbalik here in Canada? Tada la. No shops selling them.
Ahhh, but most of my friend's wives can make them, the 8 or 9 layer kuehs too.
There are lots of Malaysians, Singaporean, Indonesians here and 85% of them good cooks as well good at making kuehs. So we do get to eat Batu Pahat, Penang, Singapore, Kuantan, KL Ipoh apom terbaliks, or apom meletups, ones that don't come out well, arhaaa ha ha.
When you come here for holidays can make some Penang Nyonya ones. Boleh ka? UL.

I love these 2 apom too but it's getting more expensive and thinner now so the taste is not as good as before.... *sigh*
lala lila tampong... ahpek beh apom, apom tim lok hai... ahpek chiak kao sai... LOL
angeleyes,
the apom manis that we get in PJ is sooooo paper thin. gua tak suka.
prefer the thicker and fluffier ones.

Wah, the apoms look so yummylicious. I may pick up on your tag once I decide what I really like. Trying to think of something German but I have nothing I like in particular. I haven't come across something I like in America either. I am still into Malaysian food/cakes, come rain or shine. :)
the best apom i tasted is from penang lor..i lurveeee it! second best and more easily accessible is from sec 17 market.....better than nothing la
I love the apom from the unka on Macalister Road (or is that Penang Road??) in front of a school. Because there is always a long waiting time, we always order 20-30 pieces!! And must eat rightaway when it is piping hot because it cannot keep steamed up in plastic bag and doesn't taste nice when cold.
