As of our recent visit, this vendor is now known as HEAVENS. I went here with my Singaporean friend who never had Appam before. My friend now lives in Texas and is back for a visit.
I have been searching high and low for a Mom and Pop vendor who makes APPAM from scratch. Hence to Ghim Moh Market and Food Centre we went. I have heard or read about this vendor either thru online or thru word of mouth...
YES, when we were there on that faithful Thursday September 20th 2018, at about 09:50hrs ish, there are ALREADY a long line queue at Heavens. The patron before us even purchased like 10 packets of APPAM to go... Wah... does that mean, Heavens APPAM is good??...
If eaten right away, when its HOT and fresh I guess it can be good. But personally, HEAVENS Appam, is doable for my taste bud. The 2 plain appam is $2.50. It comes with the red orange sugar and grated coconut. When you order to eat @ the Hawker Centre, your order of Appam will be placed on an Aluminum Tray or Aluminum Plate.
For those who are new into this aka how to eat Appam? Tear a small piece of Appam, add the red orange sugar and the grated coconut. Fold the piece of Appam and with those red orange sugar and grated coconut eat it...
My friend also purchased the Putu Mayam. It comes with 2 pieces for $2. The proper Indian name for Putu Mayam is Idiyappam. Do take note, their Putu Mayam is premade, hence the quality and taste is "questionable". Hence just stick to the Appam instead.
All in all, I do not mind returning to HEAVENS when I crave for their APPAM. Perhaps I will still search for many more APPAM vendors or Mom and Pop who makes Appam from scratch. I know I can find those vendor at Tekka Market @ Little India... Just those elusive APPAM that can wow my taste bud.. the search continues...
