"Malaysian favorites including apam balik, a crepe filled with pulverized peanuts, sugar and butter. 64A Bayard St." - Grace Young
"The Malaysian pancake known as apam balik is the thing to get at Chinatown restaurant Let's Makan, writes Hungry City critic Ligaya Mishan. The pancake is 'dosa-thin,' crisp on the edges, and stuffed with sugary crushed peanuts — she calls it 'a small miracle.'" - Carla Vianna
"Let’s Makan, opened by owner-chef Michelle Lam in January 2018, is a small Malaysian restaurant in the heart of Chinatown. The venue features a tiny kitchen and dining room with ten or so seats, with table tops embedded with shiny pennies. It specializes in made-to-order apam balik, folded and stuffed pancakes common throughout Southeast Asia, with various fillings and flavors. The restaurant also offers soups and over-rice dishes, with the signature dish being pan mee, a chicken broth with handmade noodles. Other offerings include chicken curry and kuih talam, a jellylike tray cake." - Robert Sietsema
