Crispy Thin Min Chang Kueh at Ta Bei Shui in Batu Pahat 大杯水

Whenever I am in Batu Pahat (Johor), I will swing by my favourite min chang kueh 面煎粿 stalls for these thin, crispy versions of the traditional Teochew snack. Other than in Batu Pahat, I am not sure where else I can get this type of min chang kueh.

我喜欢这个薄薄的香脆香脆的面煎粿. 蔡先生的小档口在新山峇株巴辖 Jalan Penjaja 3 大杯水咖啡店里面.  蔡先生卖面煎粿, 卖了20多年. 功夫十足. 一盘6块钱. 有到峇株巴辖的话一定要试试.

Min Chang Kueh (Ban Chang Kueh) in Batu Pahat, Johor

I grew up on min chang kueh or Ban Chang Kueh or apam balik (a form of Chinese peanut pan cake) which is an affordable, popular snack in Malaysia and Singapore.

Min Chang Kueh Apam Balik @ Nam Wee Coffee Shop in Batu Pahat, Johor 面煎馃

 

✍ 24 May 2012. I was walking towards Batu Pahat's glutton street when I stumbled upon this humble looking Min Chang Kueh 面煎馃 (also known as ban jian kueh) stall at Nam Wee coffee shop at the junction of Jalan Abu Bakar and Jalan Soga.

✍ Updated 31 Dec 2023. Not much changed since I was last here at Nam Wee. The coffee shop is still laid back. The Min Chang Kueh stall was busy as ever - now you even have to take a queue number 😂 The Min Chang Kueh tastes the same as ten years ago and Mr. Yaw is still the man at the hot pan.
