The ayam bakar (grilled chicken) also stands out, perfectly charred and juicy, ideal for savoring with the accompanying kremesan that adds irresistible crunch and depth.

Apong boasts an asri (lush and fresh) environment that invites relaxation and enjoyment, making it an ideal stop for travelers coming down from the famous Darajat Pass hot springs. The peaceful surroundings add to the dining experience, creating a sense of calm that enhances the enjoyment of each dish.
