Overview

Nestled in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s bustling City Centre, Nutty Apam Balik offers a refreshing take on the classic Malaysian street snack, the apam balik. This humble restaurant at Jalan Hang Lekir transforms the traditional peanut pancake into a comforting treat that blends nostalgia with quality. The soft, slightly chewy texture of the pancake provides the perfect canvas for an array of rich fillings, from the crunchy classic peanut to inventive twists like pandan coconut and charcoal peanut with Nutella.

The space itself is modest yet inviting, featuring a small seating area in front that encourages a casual, relaxed vibe—ideal for a quick snack or light dessert after exploring Chinatown. The subtle floral aroma drifting from the neighboring shop complements the peaceful atmosphere, making each visit more than just a meal, but a momentary retreat. Service here stands out too. Friendly and warm, the staff elevate the experience, welcoming every guest with genuine smiles.

Nutty Apam Balik’s menu showcases variety without overwhelming choice. Their value boxes and triple sets cater to diverse palates, whether you crave the classic peanut crunch or prefer the indulgent sweetness of dark chocolate or Nutella. Though some customers find certain flavors slightly sweet, the majority appreciate the balanced fillings that don’t overpower the pancake’s softness. This makes it an accessible option for all ages, especially those seeking familiar flavors with a subtle twist.

Overall, this spot is ideal for anyone wanting an authentic Malaysian treat in a calm yet active urban setting. Whether you’re a local craving comfort food or a visitor exploring the city’s culinary gems, Nutty Apam Balik delivers a satisfying and heartfelt taste of Malaysian heritage with every bite.

Nice calm place to have a snack :) The nutty apam balik taste very good and the drinks are cold and refreshing. Smell of fresh flowers from the shop next door makes a perfect experience for a short break.

Surprisingly one of the best banjiankuih I’ve tried in klang valley.. very authentic and well balance in taste, especially the outer layer of pancake, crispy and moist, with generous amount of peanuts. The price is reasonable and very friendly boss, he told us that he used to set up stall selling at night market back then. Would like to highlight the pandan coconut flavour, i usually dont like coconut flakes, but this hits me, it’s so good.. Another fav would be the corn flavour(you wont go wrong with this) My friend ordered their signature coffee too, i tried a few sip, it’s so good, smooth and balance sweetness, recommend for coffee lover will be back again soon!
