Apam balik Kuala Kedah

Call it apam balik Kuala Kedah, I keep remembering `Apam Balik Wak ‘. As we all know, Wak’s return started 40 years ago around 1979 from the late Mauzi bin Tamin (known as Wak) now, his son continues the legacy of Wak’s return.

The location of the origin of apam balik is first, if I’m not mistaken, it’s near the Customs area … even if it’s empty, remember. If the new layer may not know the coat (now the Mee Abbas area). I think Wak has been there for about 20 years. After that, the location was changed to a new location, Medan Makan in front of the Post Office (Current location). The new location is Abdul Rahim, the son of Wak Pulak, who is back in business. He continued his father’s legacy by saying that he himself was also called Wak by the local community here. Where is the spillage of gravy if not on the rice? Hehe.

For the community here, there is also a taste that is different from what is sold elsewhere. That’s right, in other places there are also sales. Each in its own way. Now, I’ve varied a bit of seasoning for this apam balik. So, for anyone who has never tasted this back, just give it a try. How do you know the coat has a taste for hangpa. For us it is delicious. Just taste it all. I just want to order it, if I buy it, I’ll be a little worried because there are a lot of people. Usually you have to wait a bit.

Shinmapo Korean BBQ

There’s no shortage of Korean BBQ restaurants in the Klang Valley. Whether you’re after something budget-friendly, or looking to splurge, there’s a vast options that cater for the different needs.

For those who value quality over quantity, Shinmapo Korean BBQ is the place for you. Aside from their Signature BBQ Set which comes with different types of meat and side dishes, you can also pick from a selection of meat cuts, which includes pork, chicken, seafood, beef, and others.

The staff will do all the cooking right in front of you and you don’t even need to lift a finger.

Shinmapo’s signature meat cut is the Galmaegisal (pork skirt meat) that’s only found on the underside of the pig between the ribs and belly. Usually weighing around 250gm, pork skirt meat is more tender and juicy than other parts of meats. It’s a unique cut that can’t be found in most restaurants or markets. Each BBQ set comes with a mix grilled platter, refillable side dishes, and Shinmapo’s signature kimchi egg crust. Without a doubt, the Pork Skirt Meat is the most delicious of all. Incredibly tender in the middle and crispy around the edges, the pork skirt meat almost tasted like a combination of steak and bacon. Dipping sauces are given to further enhance the grilled meats. However, we felt the Pork Skirt was delicious enough on its own.

According to the staff, the oil one is for the non-marinated, while the red hot spicy one is for the marinated one. While the Pork Belly and Pork Collar were not as flavour-packed as Pork Skirt, both were still pretty decent. But since they all are the same price, I suggest should just go with Pork Skirt.

For those who can’t live without rice, you can try their popular Volcano Fried Rice. Inspired by a real volcano in Jeju Island, the idea of this dish is that the fried rice will be turned into a “volcano”, and whisked eggs will be poured on top of the rice which represent the “lava”.
