Uncle Guan is definitely not camera-shy. He is ever ready to pose for photos like he did with our group. In fact, he is sort of a local celebrity having been featured in the local newspaper, magazines and several food blogs, and now in mine!

| Everyone's happy with Uncle Guan's famous apong. |
Having been in the business for 47 years, Uncle Guan turns out miniature apong (pancakes) with clockwork precision. Here, Uncle Guan shows us the correct way to slice bananas. Without looking at the banana, knife or his hands, he is able to cut the fruit into equal thickness at supersonic speed.

| The preparation |
Then he adds 2 slices of banana for each apong followed by a small dollop of canned corn.
 |
| Almost done - you need to be really patient. |
Here is the finished product - piping hot and delicious
apong balik.
 |
| The finished product - best eaten piping hot. |
Even with his stealth and dexterity, there is usually a very long wait - we waited almost 60 minutes for our order to be ready. But it was worth every second of the wait.

| Waiting patiently in line but no one's complaining. |
