Sunny Lamb Traditional Apam Balik: A Street Food Delight

While out buying groceries, I stumbled upon Sunny Lamb Traditional Apam Balik. Intrigued, I approached the van stall to explore this concept further. The menu offered a captivating array of apam balik varieties and these are vegan friendly. After considering my options, I chose the ori kelapa parut (original coconut) and jagung cheese/corn cheese. The other varieties were equally tempting, but I decided that three pieces of these Malaysian (EFFORTLESS MALAY DESSERTS) traditional pancakes would be enough to start with. Perhaps next time, I will try the other varieties.

Once home, I tried the pancakes, and they were truly a delight (INDIAN DESSERTS SWEET DELIGHTS). Crispy and generously filled, they cracked and oozed with flavor on my palate. As a true fan of apam balik, I always prefer the thin ones over the thick flour versions. Thin apam balik is quite hard to come by in my area, Kota Kemuning, and when I’m in Subang Jaya, I get them from a roadside stall. I have been on the lookout for thin apam balik within my residential area but have not found any yet.

Price-wise, Sunny Lamb Apam Balik is affordable, and I was impressed by the variety they offer (PENANG FOOD ADVENTURE). While waiting for my pancakes, I had an enlightening conversation with the small business owner and learned many interesting things I didn’t know about.

Zen Food Business Insights

It was a revelation to see how street food has evolved into a larger business venture. Beyond creating new varieties, they have expanded into franchising.

 

The small business owner I met is one of the franchisees, while the franchisor originally launched the street food van stall in Kepong. There are additional franchisees operating in various parts of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.

 

Although I didn't ask about the cost of franchising, which I probably should have, it seemed like a very personal question. The stall owner mentioned that other street food businesses have also ventured into franchising.

 

One thing that piqued my curiosity is the name "Sunny Lamb" and its origin. It's an intriguing brand name.

As a woman entrepreneur, I realized that business knowledge and insights don't always come from grand presentations or individuals in suits on stage. Nor do they have to come from flashy influencers on social media platforms. Valuable insights can also come from simple, down-to-earth stall owners.

This owner generously shared his insights without expecting anything in return. He also emphasized the importance of location. Having been in Kota Kemuning for the last two months, he observed a lack of returning customers and noted that the location doesn’t attract enough business. I am not sure if he has moved to Taipan USJ as planned.
