Appam

Previously known as Heaven's Indian Curry, this stall specialises in 2 items - thosai and appam.
.
Madame Muthuletchmi Veerapan and son Suren execute this deftly here. Their plain appam has crispy thin edges with a pillow soft center, sweet and savoury with a light sour tang from the fermented rice batter.
.
It's paired with grainy orange sugar and fluffy fresh grated coconut, lending lovely earthy sweet flavour.
.
Their 'Princess' version is all the more decadent and delicious, with melted butter, gooey cheddar cheese, and a fried egg as a crown.
.
As their stall name suggests, it's simply divine.

This small, hole-in-the-wall shop is nearly constantly packed during breakfast amd lunch, but turnover is fast.
.
They offer simple South Indian staples - rice and vegetables, thosai, idly, puri, pongal, and more.
.
Their plain appam is well executed, the round pillow soft center surrounded by crisp lacy edges, with earthy sweet savoury salty flavour.
.
Served in a 2-piece set with grainy orange sugar and (the highlight for me) sweetened coconut milk, lending floral earthy sweet notes. So satisfying.

Specialising in both thosai and appam, it's easy to spot this decade-old stall where they painstakingly hand-make their dishes - just look for the longest queue.
.
The Plain Appam has a piping hot soft moist center with fragile lacy edges, and a grainy savoury sweet salty flavour.
.
By contrast, the Egg Appam has a fluffy pillow soft center with the crown of egg, which lends eggy sweet notes. However, the lacy edges are much less prominent.
.
Both are served with grainy orange sugar which lends a layer of sweet flavour, yum.

This premium version is only available here from 3pm onwards, an oddity as it's usually eaten at breakfast; though having it for high tea makes sense.
.
Served with a default 2 pieces, their Appam is large, with a soft warm moist center and thin crispy lacy edges, having aromatic grainy sweet savoury salty flavour.
.
Served with grainy orange coconut sugar crystals, and a sweetened coconut milk dip, both of which lend a lovely addictive layer of sweet notes to the dish. Excellent even on its own.

As a rather uncommon dish, few places sell Appam; those that do usually only have it available during breakfast.
.
At Deen's they have this yummy little pancake available all day, serving it consistently for over a decade.
.
The soft moist centre and crisp lacy edges of the Appam are delicately beautiful, and it picks up the fluffy grated coconut and grainy sugar crystals well.
.
Gentle earthy savoury sweet flavour. The default set has 2 large pieces, making it quite filling.
