Heaven’s Indian Curry: Appam worth waking up early for
Table of Contents

Heaven’s Indian Curry is famous for its thosai and appam, and we were especially excited to try the latter.

Also known as hoppers, these are bowl-shaped pancakes made from fermented rice flour, similar to thosai. However, for appam, the sides are crispy and thin, while the centre is thick, spongy and soft. Making good appam is definitely not an easy technique to master.

We tried the plain (S$1.80 for two), cheese (S$1.50) and egg appam (S$1.50). They are served with shredded coconut and delicate, powdery brown sugar. All the appam is delicious and done really well, especially the egg version. The edges of the appam is paper-thin and lightly browned, with a literal melt-in-your-mouth texture. The spongy centre, which is just slightly sour due to the fermentation process, picked up the coconut and sugar accompaniments well. The combination is pleasing and very moreish.

The egg appam stands out because of the runny yolk which added to the spongy, moist texture of the appam’s centre. The added fragrance of the egg makes the appam much more appetising.

We also tried the egg thosai (S$1.50), which has a good texture and thickness (about 0.5cm). Soft and moist, but not oily, the flatbread mopped up the tasty dhal and fresh coconut chutney well. However it lacked a certain X-factor, especially when compared to the star dish, the appam.

The stall also sells putu mayam at S$1.80 per set.
