       > Sinar Harian reported that a young trader’s creativity in using durian as the filling for his apam balik instead of sweet corn proved to be fruitful as he was now enjoying brisk sales.

       Muhamad Syazwan Abdul Aziz, 20, who sells the traditional pancake in Kampung Gerong, Tumpat, Kelantan, said he decided to use durian as the filling as it was currently the king of fruits’ season.

       “I decided to go ahead after I tried it myself and found it to be tasty.

       “There are many customers who don’t mind waiting for the durian apam balik even though I only open for business at 8am,” he said, adding that the pancakes were usually sold out by noon.

       To make the apam balik, Syazwan needs 15kg of durian pulp each day as well as 10kg of flour.

       The apam balik are sold for between RM2 and RM5 depending on the size.

       He said he would often use durian pulp from varieties such as durian kampung and durian kunyit.
