Had been trying various stalls serving Appam at Tekka Centre of the late; had not really tried every single stall serving up the item yet but the ones here from Sky Lab Cooked Food is probably the one I like the most for now.

Ordering the Plain Appam and Cheese Appam, I really liked how the Appam here comes with a crisp edge and a fluffy and somewhat chewy interior, bearing a texture rather similar to the "honeycomb" esque texture of our local variant of Peanut Pancake, yet carrying a tinge of sourness that is iconic to the dish itself — a yogurt-like tartness that makes it somewhat like the Indian crossover between the said local pancake and European sourdough. The cheese variant comes smacked with a slice of processed cheese over the top for a hint of savouriness, but the plain one comes with a choice of cane sugar or brown sugar; opted for the latter which melts into the hot Appam and provides an earthy and rich, malty and cocoa-like sweetness that is really alluring. While there are some stalls that I have yet to try their Appams from all over the island, this is a spot I would return to for that comforting Appam that I know I would not be disappointed from.
