Traditional Indian Apom at Swee Kong Coffee Shop, Jalan Burma, Penang
"Your Airness" will be the best description for this traditional South Indian dish. Light and crispy sides with a concentrated dense yet fluffy central mass. It has a touch of coconut milk and sugar with a base of milled, fermented rice.
It is crafted over charcoal fire over in an evergreen clay pot. The only thing modern will be the stove with stainless steel coat to prevent cracking. If traditional is equated with quality and art, then the Apom should be good.
They did not disappoint. Crispy sides and fluffy and moist centre. Sweet, rich and satisfying. Mind you, beware; one will not be enough. If that is the only breakfast, you are having, go for 3 to 5 pieces. It is highly recommended to add an egg on top for a creamier Apom with the yolk staring out, inviting you to eat. It will also have a lighter tasting core with the presence of the egg white.
Try their Prawn Noodles and other delicacies in this old flagship of a coffee shop in Georgetown.
