All the apam balik that I ordered were super crispy, they were cooked on the spot and it was really quick. 1. Original thin apam is especially good for those who like peanuts, the thick original is nice and chewy 2. Nutella Banana was the best for me, it wasn’t too sweet, just perfect and it had a lot of banana slices 3. Oreo Mint Chocolate was reaaaally sweet even for a sweet tooth, kids would really love it. Good service too

Chello Appam is a modest 26-year-old food stall in Bangsar. Choose between plain appam with coconut milk or the brown sugar variant, which is more delicate. The rich coconut milk and brown sugar are swirled into the appam batter in a pan to give it a fluffy final layer while still keeping its crunchy edges. It’s finished with chunks of sugar, so every bite has a touch of caramel-coconut sweetness. Do you want more? Another popular item is the kuih ketayap, which features freshly grated coconut and gula Melaka syrup in a rice flour pancake.
