BM Cathay Pancake

BM Cathay Pancake has been a Bukit Mertajam staple since 1962, operating from a cart outside Cathay Food Court in Malaysia. It focuses exclusively on Apam Balik, a chargrilled pancake filled with sugar and peanuts. Each pancake is freshly made to order, delivering a crisp exterior and a chewy interior. This establishment maintains traditional preparation methods and consistent quality, earning the Bib Gourmand distinction from the Michelin Guide. The cart offers a straightforward, authentic Malaysian street food experience that appeals to both locals and visitors seeking heritage flavors. The atmosphere is casual and centered around quick service at an outdoor setting, emphasizing genuine local culinary culture. The singular specialty highlights classic Malaysian ingredients in a well-loved, simple snack form.
