Why is this Ban Chang Kueh with An Attitude ?
Have you ever ta pao (packed) Ban Chang Kueh, order and come back 15 minutes later to find that it is not ready yet?
Only 2 things can happen, too many customers so you wait for your turn.
How about no customers, and still not ready?
This is because the owner feels that his ban chang kueh has to be eaten nice and fresh.
If he waits 15-30 minutes for you and you do not come to collect it, he will either sell it to someone else if there is or he will THROW IT IN THE BIN !
I have seen him doing this.
He says that it's cold and not tasty anymore.
This is what we call Quality Assurance
This makes sure that it is always tasty, so if you are passing by Anson Road after lunch or during tea time, swing around for a tasty snack.
You will not be disappointed :-)

While walking along the Kuala Kangsar market on a public holiday hunting for good street food, I bumped into a Ban Chang Kueh stall at the junction of Jalan Kuala Kangsar and Kimberley Street.
I am not a person with a sweet tooth so these stalls normally don't attract me, until I saw the framed up photo below.

As I checked out the stall, and what the long queue was all about, my eye caught a glimpse of the wafer like ban chang kueh, suddenly I became excited and joined the long wait.

I remembered as a kid, I used to follow my mum to the market and very often, I will be treated with this crispy like thing which I love.  I have been looking high and low for it since and every ban chang kueh stall I have seen does not sell the crispy thin version.

I waited till there was no more people waiting and I asked the friendly aunty if she used to sell opposite, and she said, yes, for more than 30 years already ...
I have finally found the stall that I have been looking for all this while :-)

There are 3 versions of ban chang kueh sold here - super thin crispy, normal fold over and the thick version

Foodie's Choice - Super thin crispy and normal foldover with peanuts, corn and brown sugar

goes super well with kopi O at nearby coffee shop

Every bite of it was a moment down memory lane for me ...
