968 Popiah (Quek Hong Chuan Eating House)

What started as an impromptu exploration in the Whampoa area led me to a new favourite popiah place at 968 Popiah! You’d be hard-pressed (pun maybe intended) to find a popiah shop which is this generous with the mang guang (braised turnip/jicama) in each of their freshly wrapped rolls, and only for $1.80 each! Ingredients are simple and no-frills (with the usual boiled egg, lettuce, beansprouts, sweet sauce and chilli), but this place gets the fundamentals right in flavour and texture. The radish was moist & flavourful, and even the crunchy bits were yummy! I dabao-ed some for my parents & the popiah rolls did not become soggy after the long trip home!⁣

Saw that they also incorporated a Japanese twist to the popiah in the form of Sushi Popiah, perhaps it's something worth trying next visit! 🤪⁣

2 rolls of sushi popiah. Fresh prawns and they wrap crabstick inside, different from the usual popiah that they also sell. Definitely a must buy every time i go to whampoa area. My favourite snack.

It's a little gimmicky sushi-wrapping what's already a wrap, but I credit them for adding prawn, mayo and chilli. All that and still cheap leh.

Fantastic popiah at this humble looking stall. Prices are highly affordable considering the painstaking effort needed to make them. Highly recommend.

I am a frequent customer of this stall and I love the affordable yet yummy popiah.

Their regular popiah comes in $1.50 or $2, and it is filled with crunchy bits that give it an extra texture.

The sushi popiah costs $2.20 for 4 but the crunch of the prawns with the mayo and chilli is really quite special from the usual popiah. Recommended!

The brown fried fish bits make all the difference because it’s usually just peanut bits.
