Penang - Eat the Heat: Apong Guan

What is apong? I had no idea until my visit to Penang. I would find out it’s a light, fluffy, slightly chewy pancake with slices of sweet banana and cream corn in the middle. And this man? Who is he, you ask? Well, probably the most charismatic person I met on my entire trip spanning six countries. He is the venerable Ah Guan. And he clearly took a liking to one in our crew more than others. You know who you are. He has been selling apong on Jalan Burma for decades. Longer than I’ve been alive, I think. And he may be the last of his generation. We were lucky when we arrived since there was no line. Normally, it’s quite the wait as people reportedly (based on a reputable local source) order dozens to as much as a 100 to take home with them to KL or Singapore.
