WHERE TO EAT The best Apam balik in the world (according to food experts)

"Perfect for breakfast, this Nyonya pancake sandwich features peanuts, sugar, and sometimes sweet corn or banana slices. Your treat will be a warm, toasty one. I recommend this pop-up stall at the Pulau Tikus Market."

"Move over fine foods because the gastro scene in Petaling Street is defined by its assortment of beguiling street food, namely: Apam balik (old uncle stall in front of Koon Kee making peanut pancake turnover for 35 years)."

"If you want to pick one up for dessert, go easy at the dinner as they are quite the substantial treat. You get a whole lot of bang for your buck."

"The feeling of sweet corns bursting in your mouth while chewing the apom can be very… rewarding. Try it before stalls like these go away for good."

"This apom manis is the only one prepared using Indian clay pots or belanga over charcoal. So the delicious apom is a combination of decades old recipe plus dexterity of handling the heat during the cooking process."

"Ding Heong Golden Apam Balik have expanded their operations from a single truck to several across KL. Apart from the traditional crispy apam balik, they also offer various fillings and toppings to go with your snack."

"The cooked shell is folded into a pocket and traditionally filled with sugar, crushed peanuts and creamed corn. Nutella and banana ones the most! Our favourite apam balik is from a hawker stall on the main road in Batu Ferringhi."
