APOM STALL @ MING TIEN FOODCOURT, TAMAN MEGAH

Accompanying WMW for a late dinner one fine night, I stepped into Ming Tien Foodcourt in Taman Megah for the very first time. Despite living in SS2 for the past 2 decades which is just a stone-throw away from Taman Megah, somehow when I go food hunting, this place always doesn't make it into my list. Anyway, once you are in Taman Megah, one would not miss the Ming Tien Foodcourt, situated just right next to the futsal court. Using beach as a theme and surrounded by lush greenery and wooden hut, I really felt like entering into a beach resort. And not forgetting the canto-pop blasting in full volume, no wonder this place is so popular among the youngsters.

The food court offers both local favourites as well as international cuisine such as Italian Pizzas, Taiwanese snacks, Vietnamese noodle, Japanese delicacies and many many more. A quick search in the internet and found that they even have a website. So do click here for more information as I am going to jump straight into the main topic: APOM!

WMW walked straight to the APOM stall and immediately the husband and wife team greeted her like an old friend. While they were busy catching up, I too was busy snapping away.

There are two types of the pancake-like snacks available: Apom which is the crispy version versus the Apom Balik which is the softer and thicker version. The crispy apom is cooked by placing the batter into individual miniature wok and placed on a stove to cook till the batter turns brown.

Issit cooked yet??
The cooked Apom is immediately taken out from the wok and folded while it's still hot.

Tada, a stack of freshly made crispy Apom ready to be eaten.

While the boss was busy with the Apom, the wife too was busy with her Apom Balik which comes in either corn or banana flavour. Quite unusual as I normally buy those with crushed peanuts fillings. Instead of using miniature wok, a hot mould is being used and it can produced up to 9 Apom Balik at one go. Once the batter is poured in, either creamed corn or sliced bananas will be added as fillings.

The Apom Balik is then folded into half while hot. The texture of the Apom Balik is much softer, almost like eating pancake. Very economical to ease your craving for snacks as the Apom is selling at RM2 for 5 pieces whereas the Apom Balik is priced at RM2 for 4 pieces. Personally I prefers the Apom as it was really light, crispy and eggy flavour. Boolicious and I were initially worried we might not be able to finish our serving as we just had a hearty dinner and before we realised it, we finished all without leaving any for WMW. LOL!! As for the Apom Balik, I would say I still prefer the traditional fillings of crushed peanuts and corn. I find the portion here is too little, barely can taste the corn nor the bananas.

WMW said the vegetarian mee goreng next to the Apom stall is not too bad too. Ok, noted and I will definately be back to try out the other stuffs here.
