This popular apom balik stall along Batu Ferringhi is located just few steps away from PARKROYAL Penang Resort. The original apom balik is a crispy griddle pancake that comes with fillings of peanuts and sweet corn, but if you are feeling more adventurous, you can choose from their more than 30 amazing types of flavours ranging from Nutella, cheese and chocolate to savoury versions with egg and cheese. Starting from the wallet-friendly price of RM2 for a single-flavoured apom balik, you may be tempted to try more than a few versions at one go!

In the mood for a different type of traditional local pancake known as “Apom” or “Apong”?  Similar to the ones from Apom Balik Station, Ah Guan Apom is slightly different as it is made of egg, flour and desiccated coconut with slices of bananas and corns in a thicker pancake and softer texture. Owned by an elderly man named Ah Guan, this stall has been in business for a whooping five decades.  We think this is a must-try stall, however, it is best to drop by when you are not in a rush as die-hard fans of Uncle Ah Guan’s apoms will gladly wait in a long queue to get their fix. (Tip : If there’s a long queue and you do not have the time to wait, you may opt for Ah Choi Apom who is just a few steps away)

Well-known as the most traditional and best seafood popiah in Penang, this stall has been in business for a total of 60 years.  They serve a traditional seafood popiah, that is filled with juicy stewed turnips and bean curd doused in sweet bean sauce, and finally wrapped with thin paper crepe made out of wheat flour.  The popular stall is especially busy on weekends and public holidays, so be prepared for a long wait if you are in Penang for a weekend getaway. We guarantee this is worth the wait though!
