RE: What's the different in between?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I used to steal money from my dad and sneak out from the house to attend night market 😄

Prepacked biscuit seller, started in the 90s become like this. Save time and to make sure the biscuit doesn't get soft. Back in the 80s, it's a van full of steel containers. Whichever you need, he open the can and scope for you, live action.

Dim sum in the 90s still limited to several dishes. Sticky rice being the main, followed by BBQ bun, steam bun, big bun, red bean bun, kaya bun, minced meat roll, but that's all. Now.... Too colorful 🤣

The Lok Chin you mentioned, it's called LoBak here. It's always been like this, for Thai people this is "limited" choice, but this is already more variety compared to older days before Taiwanese sausage became a thang here. Imagine the first time I visited the night market at Hatyai when I saw your Lok Chin 😮

Lastly, the Pancake is called Apam Balik. Traditionally, the chef will make the pancake, when it's almost done, add roasted peanut crumbs and a layer of course sugar before folding it. That way, when we bite the pancake, the sugar bits will explode together with the peanuts in the mouth 🤣 later more "flavor" being introduced, such as chocolate, corn, kaya, butter, fruit spreads etc.

Yes yes you're right. The steel containers, i remember that especially the sound when they open it. Haha I get you're point there. Apam Balik is the same like Apong? No right?

It's the same thing. Local Chinese people couldn't care to speak the whole name, and many can't even spell from A - Z, it's possible this has been misheard from APAM to Apong.
