Apam Balik (Ban Chang Kueh aka Mee Chien Kueh) ~ 11.9.2010

My first taste of apam balik (lai cher ko --- in cantonese) was in Singapore more than 45 years ago...
I still love this delicacy till today.....

I just bought this whole big piece this afternoon at pudu market..

This stall is operated by a mother and son team for many years... and their business is good.

Look at their stove












and the pan...
