Foodnote
Have always wanted to make apam balik myself because it is one of my favorite pasar malam food. So finally... here it is. Found a simple recipe from youtube. Supposed to refrigerate for 5 hours or overnight but I don't have time for that as the guests are coming over... but it is still good.
Made a variety of chocolate chips+cheese, chocolate chips+cream of corn+peanuts, peanuts+cream of corn... just to entertain the kids and they love it. None is left! Very easy recipe and I am so pleased with the outcome.

This same recipe is also good for making pancake/hotcake. Extra batter can be left in the fridge for a few days.
