“Ban Chen Kuih“, Ban Chang Kuih, apom balik, apam balik, apam …… all sorts of name are used to represent a piece of chinese pan cake. The pancake basically have 2 types. One is a thin and crunchy type and another one is the thicker version. Different people like different version for their chinese pan cakes.
I like mine thin and with plenty of crunched peanuts, extra sweet corns and extra margerine. I usually visit the stall 81 in Bayan Baru Wet Market in Penang. In KL, it is pretty hard to find the same taste of what I had back in my lovely hometown.
I have been patronizing this stall for more than 20 years and the quality still maintain.
He is using charcoal stove to bake all the pan cakes. Imagine the skill you need to handle all 8 pans when the business are peak. His ingredients are basically the most basic for baking pancakes which is flour, eggs, sugar, crunched peanuts, creammy type sweet corns and also margarine.
By looking at the pictures also enough to kill, look at that crispy pan cakes with the corn !!!! Arghh …. It makes me really want to bite on it now.
The uncle told me a secret of making the pan cake to be able to stay crunchy for a longer time. When it is taken out from the pan, you have to let it cool down before packing it. If not, it will get soggy and become soft.
The price per piece for this pan cake still very cheap (RM0.60) in Penang compared to KL which is RM1 per piece on the basic peanuts only. Checkout more detail pricing at the picture below.

I’ve been visiting this stall since my secondary school time. Uncle maintain his quality very well. He used charcoal instead of the modern method – the gas.
Whenever I think of BCK, sure I’ll visit this stall.
