October 21st, 2011 » Vegan Mofo 19: Apam Balik the Malaysian Pancake
An Indian woman, who appeared to be on her way to work stopped off first and asked about the pancakes having egg or not. The owner quickly and proudly stated that while a lot of people use egg, that there is no egg in his and also no dairy. It’s mostly soy or rice flour that made the pancake fluffy and sugar. It has filling of sugar, crushed peanuts and corn.
One pancake costs rm 0.60 or two pancakes cost rm 1,20. You can find these on a food stand only on weekday mornings (as early as 8am) off since they only serve breakfast. The small food stand is off Jalan Sultan Ismail in front of Bangunan BHl Bank.

The Malaysian Chineses will consume anything from freshly made soymilk to tofu pudding in sweet syrup (douhau, or 豆腐腦) to a Malaysian pancake, known as “Apam Balik.” An Indian woman, who appeared to be on her way to work stopped off first and asked about the pancakes having egg or not.

October 15th, 2011 » Vegan Mofo 16: Stuttgart – Vegi Voodoo King
Comments Off
In starting September, we went to check Vegi Voodoo King in Stuttgart, which was mentioned in Happy Cow Stuttgart and some Flickr posts on vegan falafel wrap. It was 30-minute walk from Mittlerer Schloßgarten. Please view my other post on Stuttgart groceries.

Stuttgart Germany 70173
Rating: 1 out of 5 stars (Poor)
It was easy to look out for “Vegi Voodoo King”, which reminded me of VooDoo donuts in Portland, Oregon, but I was in Stuttgart, not Portland. It was a huge orange sign and the setting was mostly outdoor. I did not like the skinny lady (who worked there), because due to the loud, banging background music, she did not listen to our orders very well and had to repeat three times what we already had said. It happened to the next customer (a respected female scholar in her late 30s) after us, and the next customer after that which was also noticeable. That’s not a great customer service, plus with that loud banging music, how the hell can you take these customers’ orders carefully? This is awful though.
Awful setting, awful background music and awful front person
Regardless of the weird lady and the banging background music, we tried two different wraps.
The wraps tasted really dry or not fresh. I’m not sure what’s all about, but I had better wraps/bread for falafel somewhere else i.e., Vegan Döner in München. But I did not like the wrap unfortunately.
The sesame dressing was too runny and it felt like I was eating watery sesame dressing. Veggies are awful, cheap and bland. Falafel balls are so-so, but over-fried.
For the mango-chutney wrap , it tasted like mango jam, but not chutney, which was weird. We did not like the falafel wraps in the end and it was a bit of disappointment in our vegan dining in Stuttgart. I am definitely not going back there again, especially for its loud, rude and awful background music. What kind of music is that during a lovely sunny day? Hey, I have love for club music, but hey, not in that fucking vegan restaurant on a beautiful sunny day where you can’t converse with your folks and loved ones plus communication with the vegan kitchen staff.
TO make up for the awful dining in Stuttgart, it was actually interesting to walk around in Stuttgart at night.
