Made plans to see my HKL girls for tea yesterday, and we finally got to try the new appom place on Jalan Pudu (of all places!). I usually get my appom fix from the Indian aunty behind TMC and she makes them the bomb.com, but
Hoppers apparently makes them fusion style and includes SAVOURY options and I'm definitely down for anything savoury. Came for the new special: BUTTER PRAWNS! But it was late in the day and it was already sold out.
I picked from the girls' plain with coconut milk, rendang ayam, gula melaka and horlicks ones before actually ordering mine lol. That's what friends are for eh, sharing food! How else would we have managed to eat 15 appoms in one seating? ;D
The savoury crab one was reeeeally nice and refreshing - with a squirt of lemon and that beetroot dressing, plus an additional runny egg por mi, PERFECTION! The sweet mango one was a miss - edible flowers were a tinge bitter and the mangoes could have been just a tad riper (is that even a word?) (plus i'm spoilt by my Harum Manis mangoes, I can't take any other kind lol). But they serve with a dash of sugar and coconut milk so all in all it was not too bad, but could have been better. These two appoms with a coconut drink cost RM31 which is a bit on the higher end but still not too bad for a novelty meal such as this.
So we'll definitely come again to try out newer varieties once available sebab sedap! And parking is easy too - paid open parking just a few doors down so you don't have to park on the sidewalks of busy Jalan Pudu.. takut bas langgar!
