Kway Guan Huat Joo Chiat Popiah

I was around Joo Chiat on weekend and found out there’s wasn’t any customer in front of this shop, unlike previously in the past few years when I’m there; which used to be lots of people waiting for their orders to be call.

Since there’s no one there, of course I would want to grab this opportunity to try their popular popiah; which is freshly made upon order.

Generous ingredients inside and the popiah skin taste excellent as well. Recommended to consume it within the day itself.

Giant size and full of filling. Really enjoyable. Must try.

Original popiah, can watch skin makers demonstrate the art of making paper-thin popiah crepes on weekends (mornings 8.30 am to 11 am)!

薄饼 Popiah
评分：9/10
主要由爽脆蔬菜（大头菜、胡萝卜、豆芽等）组成，花生末等炸物增添脆的口感，冰皮非常薄，软而劲道，是比较健康和清爽的本地食物。

小金杯 Kueh Pie Tee
评分：8/10
金杯小小一个，铺满了和薄饼基本一致的蔬菜，顶部加一粒虾，配自家制的特殊辣酱，口感和口味都十分丰富，酥脆爽口。

Ordered many boxes of takeaways - the turnips remain chewy, crunchy and really juicy! Missing the prawns in the pic cos they were snapped up in minutes.

Bought these from a pop-up stall instead of the original one at Joo Chiat. Apart from their handmade skin, this popiah stands out from the rest in terms of its presentation and taste. First, it's served uncut in a plastic bag so you've to eat it like a burrito; and second, it has a more savoury, crustacean taste than others which often has just one-dimensional flavour. Also, it has bits of beancurds and fried fish skin (I think), making it really unique!

Good:
• Soft and chewy skin made on the spot
• Distinct umami taste from the turnips
• Very good crunch from the beansprouts, cucumbers, and fried fish bits
• Generously stuffed
• Skills have been passed down to the third generation! #supportyounghawkers

Drawbacks:
• Turnips are a little dry
• Would love to have more crunch and fragrance from the peanuts
• Can get a little messy eating from a bag
• People who prefer sweeter popiahs may not enjoy this

Verdict: 4/5 (Just because I'm not used to the unique umami taste and I'm not eating from the original stall)

Look at that huge huge popiah that is bursting with ingredients. The turnip and carrot filling was flavourful but not too wet, which allowed it and other vegetables like cucumber🥒 and lettuce🥬 to remain crunchy. The addition of prawns🍤 also added more flavour to it. Overall, the taste of the popiah was well-balanced, not too salty or sweet. Love it!!😍
