Apam Balik Man, Where Are You?

Now when was this? It must be way before the MCO judging from the photos of the apam balik man without a mask. Yup, I have a lot of back log posts.

This stall used to operate outside Restoran One One One (Bee Fat) which is just a few doors from Standard Chartered Bank. Prior to MCO 2.0, I did not see this stall when I passed by the area.

Don't you miss the days when you can actually see people's faces in public?

This is the menu. As you can see, there are sweet and savory apam balik.

If I remember correctly I had the Peanut + Banana.

This apam balik is the thin and crispy type, not the thick one which I prefer. 

I ate it there and then while it was still warm. Not bad at all. But I never went back because as I mentioned, I prefer the thick type.

Then I went for a walk (oh how I miss my after lunch walks) and that's when I saw this notice.

Ah! This is in 2019 because I remember Pho Real opened around January 2020 and then in March, boom! MCO 1.0 happened. 

It was also during this walk that I came across Rebel Pasta.

I told myself that I must visit but I have not done so up to now. Reason? The menu was too rebellious for me.

I found some old photos of Girl.

She is terrified of the vacuum cleaner due to the loud noise. So she goes and hides anywhere from the "monster".

These days she simply dashes upstairs. Belle Belle does not seem to be affected by the vacuum cleaner. She just stays cool. It makes me wonder if Belle Belle's hearing is compromised or she is simply not such a scaredy cat.

Even after I turned off the vacuum cleaner, Girl refused to come inside. I was trying to entice her with the cat toy. Those were the good old pre-pandemic days.
