The verdict
BolehThe Yonghua Twin steps in for a tired Jason and finds Au Apong a pleasant local-vibes cafe with a RM50 promo covering two drinks and three dishes. Ayam balut is the standout, while the drinks are good but not wow. The coconut-mango ice cream is thick and creamy, almost Haagen-Dazs quality.
Highlights
- Price: RM50 promo includes two drinks and three dishes including ice cream
- Taste: Ayam balut juicy like otak-otak; moist bundt cake with melaka sugar
- Ambiance: Earthy tones with a local feel plastered across the menu
- Other: Review done by the Yonghua Twin after Rapid KL invited them

Rapid KL, a train asked me to try Au Apong, it's a cafe but I'm way too tired you see my eyes here are so red colour already. I'm gonna ask the real Yonghua Twin to do this review instead. Yonghua? Ok coming! Hi I'm the Yonghua Twin. Brought with me the receipt, RM50. I like the vibes, earthy tone, it has a local feel to it, plastered right in the centre of their menu. Their promo is RM50 and it comes with two drinks, three dishes one of it as ice cream let's talk about the drink first. Coffee bean is slightly roastier, is that a word? The coffee bean is like an extra roast, but in the end two three four five sips it starts to taste the same again 6.9 nothing stands out next one is more interesting it's their lemonade strawberry gotta check the name hold on first sip, fizziness it tastes like the fruits are really blended in versus adding in colouring or flavouring and with this combination somehow to me taste like the champs vitamin tablets that our parents used to give us let me grab it's this one you see it yeah this one goodbye it's good but not wow 7.2 on to the dishes, ayam balut very good exactly like otak-otak but juicier a bit saltier and that's it simple a well-made ayam balut 7.9 mini apong bundt cake is that a typo for bundle b-u-n-d-t a bundt cake is a cake that is baked in a bundt pan thanks shaping it into a distinctive doughnut shape not generally associated with any single recipe okay so it's just the shape texture is like banana cake and i love banana cake type of texture it is still very moist and they put in i think it's melaka sugar this one is a large tropical tango aha i don't know how a coconut ice cream can ever be wrong mango is fresh very creamy very healthy just a delightful ice cream eating experience on our very recent hot sunny weather the ice cream is very thick and heavy almost like haagen-dazs quality ice cream also indeed thanks yeah thanks
