“Apam Balik has been part of the tradition of local Malaysian street food for centuries. It’s one of the varieties of chewy pancakes which is famous in Southeast Asia. Apam Balik is generally crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. These Malaysian pancakes are served on one side and folded over on themselves. They come in the form of half-moons. Also, traditional Apam Balik is garnished with roasted and crushed peanuts, cane sugar and sweet corn. We tried to infuse the Malaysian flavour of Apam Balik into the most comforting cheesecake of all time; Burnt Cheesecake. The crunch of the roasted groundnut adds a nutty bite which also complements the crumb base. Not to forget, the creamy corn paste which is combined with the cream cheese batter add extra richness to the cake.” – Ros Sharrenah
