This stall in Pulau Tikus is one of the ban chang kueh stalls selling the XXXXXL pancakes and the specialty over here is using brown sugar.



But then these days, many ban chang kueh sellers do use brown sugar as well as a variation to the white sugar. Maybe they were the early batch who started this product differentiation?



The aroma of the pancake once it is cooked is so refreshing, and so fragrant especially with the brown sugar. Watching the seller flipping one half of the pancake on top of the other and then cutting them into pieces in zig zag manner, we just could not wait to have the first bite on the piping hot ban chang kueh.



Boy, it was crunchy especially on the crust and sticky on the pancake. Sometimes, you will chew on the crushed nuts as well and Huat Koay said the feeling is nice.

There is an observation we noticed, the size has shrunk a little compared to years ago before the heavy inflation and petrol price increase. We remember the ban chang kueh used to cost less and in much bigger pieces. See what inflation has done even to our favourite ban chang kueh?

Each piece of the ban chang kueh sells at RM0.70 for the brown sugar and RM0.60 for the white sugar. The stall operates normally in the morning.



Sometimes, you will see and middle aged guy selling and at times his son will be manning the stalls instead. So, if you think of going there, look for the stalls instead of the person.

This Pulau Tikus duck rice or Sin Kong Chiew Hong Kong Style Roasted is at Kedai Kopi Kristal Seafood. This shop is at the junction of Burmah Road and Burmah Lane (Burmah Lane is where Thai and Burmese Temples are located).

The roasted duck here doesn’t taste oily and the skin is quite crunchy too. Probably the roasting style used have melted the fat underneath the skin, thus you don’t get much fat left. The meat is also rather tender and easy to chew.



Besides roasted duck, we ordered BBQ pork and roasted pork as well. We believed both the bbq and roasted duck used similar roasting style that gives those meat its juiciness and tenderness but the skin of roasted pork is more crunchy, perhaps due to longer duration of roasting.

There is also a variety of soups you can order and vegetables like beans sprout and “iu chai” as well. The price on average is about RM8 per person, depending on how much dishes you ordered. For us, we ordered “sah bee” (3 tastes), soup and vegetables.

What we like about the Curry puffs here is that they are big in size and the length is typically same size as your palm. Also, each time when we buy these curry puffs, they’re always piping hot and just out from the frying pan. Maybe we’re just in luck everytime? 



The ingredients inside is similar to regular curry puffs but in larger quantity, obviously. You’ll get potatoes and chunks of chicken meat inside. The skin and crust are also crunchy; perhaps they just got out from the pan.

The stall is available mostly during daytime and each curry puff sells at RM1.50. Fei Fei always buy two each time… for himself!
