Now that we are in Malaysia, it's time to try some Malaysian food, and first on the list ins Apam Balik. Apam Balik is thin pancake filled with chocolate, sweet corn and condensed milk. We thought this was going to be easy to find but it proved alot harder than we thought. We also wanted to try Char Koey Teo as this in not only a popular dish to try in Johor Bahru, but a popular dish to try in all of Malaysia.

The Indonesian language was from the same diaspora as the Malay language. They are from the same Proto-Malay root language. However sometime later the Indonesian language came into its own during the Dutch occupation while the Malay language stayed the same. Therefore the language, food and culture is almost identical.

Char koay teow meaning "char" (stir fry), koay teow (type of noodle) has 2 versions : - Chinese version , (Non halal), usually with lard oil and pork sausages with shrimp, and bean sprouts dry and spicy. Traditionaly served on banana leaf. - Malay version (Halal) usually has more gravy and cooked with seafood Apam balik (Pancake) has 2 types : - Thick - Thin Traditionally served with peanuts, butter and sweet corn inside. You can customize it. Famous in Petaling Street Kuala Lumpur - Some places in Night markets you can find variations of it. Usually sold in small stalls in the afternoon or evening that sells 'kuih' and drinks. Enjoy your travels, hope this helps. Welcome to Malaysia, have a pleasant stay :)

In Malaysia and in every state there's a foods market called "Pasar Malam" which translate to Night market. Do a research which place they're opened because everyday the night market changes places. There's also another version of Apam balik and it's called Apam balik mini, its crunchier than the original one. And you guys has to try Malaysian traditional kueh ( Malaysian sweets) also can be found in night market and various places.

Apam balik is actually a Hokkien desert originated from Fujian China which later spread to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. It's called "Ban Chang Kuih" in Hokkien and is a sweet peanut pancake (you can find it in Penang too). I've never tried one with corn and milk before, and neither pisang goreng with chocolate, guess Indonesian has different variations. In fact both the apam balik and char kuay teow you were looking for are Hokkien foods.

Of course Indonesian and Malaysia gonna sound the same. Indonesian language originated from Malay language which official language of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. And Murtabak and Apam Balik are different things. We are not claiming these foods ours hence we know the origin of the dish Apam Balik is actually a chinese dessert that originally sold by Chinese hawker but gradually changed to Malay hawker. The name is translated to Flip Pancake which refer to the technique Murtabak is actually a middle east/Indian cuisine and it is the original name. Malaysian didnt change anything about the dish. Indonesian however confuse the dish with Apam Balik. They are known to get the name of imported dish wrong. lol Char Kuey Tew is Chinese dish that usually dry like Mi Goreng. But the Malay version is different because it is wet with a lot of gravy.
