This had a crisp skirt around, with a soft & chewy middle - texture is similar to a minjiangkueh. The coconut shreds (it didn’t feel super fresh, but it wasn’t stale or dry either) and appam itself are plain on its own, so a light sprinkling of the fine sugar helped to elevate the taste. First time trying appam and I wouldn’t mind having it again, but I don’t think appams are my kinda thing though.
