Popiah (薄餅) at Jonkers Street, Malacca
Popiah is a Chinese spring roll filled with steamed or stir-fried jacama (known locally as bangkuang),
diced beancurb, bean sprouts, lettuce leaves, grated carrots & shredded omelette.
The ingredients are being wrapped with paper thin white wrappers (local call it popiah skin).
Btw. Popiah skin is a little bit different from the Vietnamese spring roll wrappers .
Vietnamese spring roll wrappers are made of rice flour while popiah skin is made from wheat flour.

I love the turnips in popiah :) a very simple pick-me-up for times when you don’t want a heavy lunch.
Hi Meds :) btw. Did u follow me on instagram recently?
Popiah wrap is much drier and harder then Viet wrapper. :)
Oh Really? I don’t really feel Popiah wrap is harder compared to Viet wrapper….just my bias coz’ I like popiah ;p
one of my all time fave!
:) But sometimes it’s difficult to find yummy ones nowadays..
omgosh that looks so good!
It’s yummy..hope you can try them over there…but I’m not sure if the Chinese restaurant there serve this coz’ it’s kind like a street snack.
