Recommendations

"The banana slices and sweet corn made biting into it a pleasure to the senses – the banana with its fragrance and the sweet corn kernels with its chewiness. You can be sure that I will drop in again for a few of the pancakes on my next trip to Penang."
"Prepared in bite-sized portions, the outer layer is usually crispy while the inside has a fluffy texture with a hint of fragrant coconut milk. The Apong Guan stall at Burma Road is hailed as the best place to enjoy apom balik in Penang."
"Perfect for breakfast, this Nyonya pancake sandwich features peanuts, sugar, and sometimes sweet corn or banana slices. Your treat will be a warm, toasty one. I recommend this pop-up stall at the Pulau Tikus Market."
"Thin and rich with a nice crunch from the corn, a delicate sweetness from the bananas and a slightly gritty texture from the freshly grated coconut in the batter."

"He is well known for his fluffy and tasty Apong, and his unpredictable temperament as well."
"The coconut flakes in the batter gives them a chewy and tasty texture. For the past 48 years, as Georgetown changes, one thing remains constant, that is Ah Guan’s passion for his work of art."
"The skin was golden brown, the insides cooked nicely. The banana super ripe, if you remember me saying. Adds a sweet punch, and the creamed corn a nice luxurious finish."
"Best eaten when it's still hot. I find this fluffy apong not too sweet, just nice to my liking. If you feel like having light snack while food hunting in Penang, feel free to try out Uncle Guan's apong."
"Best pancakes in Malaysia!"
