TOOTHSOME buttery sweet apam balik, golden brown on the outside with crushed peanuts and creamed corn filling is simply hard to resist.With its crisp edges, this Malaysian street snack is ideal at teatime and is especially good to satiate hunger pangs.

The sweet and fragrant aroma of apam balik is the result of butter being caramelised as the local pancake cooks in metal pans.
