Seeing Doubles?

Today I'm going to introduce to you to a Chinese snack that is slow.... Huh...? I know I'm contradicting myself but most of the time, snacks are portrayed to be something similar to fast food, where you can get it fast and finish your food within minutes but this stall had changed part of my opinion for snacks completely.

Introducing...

a Chinese snack known as 'Popiah' or 'Spring roll'.
So what's so special about this 'Popiah'?

What are the common mistake of a 'Popiah'?
  • The ingredients are too 'wet' that cause the skin of the 'Popiah' to break easily
  • The skin is too thin, hence it breaks easily
  • Too much ingredients, hence the skin cannot handle the amount of load in the 'Popiah'

After we have look through the weaknesses of a bad 'Popiah', what makes this 'Popiah' that I have written here so special?
Well, let us take a look at the following picture first.

Have you saw it?
The stall owner is actually using 2 'Popiah' skin to make a roll of 'Popiah'.
By doing it that way, you wouldn't be facing the problem of the ingredients
falling out of the 'Popiah'. O.OV
On top of that, by adding an additional 'Popiah' skin doesn't mean that you will be
eating more flour. The amount of flour used in each 'Popiah' skin is perfect.
On top of that, the 'Popiah' can be considered to be pretty well done, especially
when its neither too wet nor too dry... Perfect!!!


Best of all.... the 'Popiah' is Halal.
So everyone can try and savour it. :D

Where can you find this delicacy?

Here you go. This stall is located near Clementi Market and Food Centre.
As for why this stall changes part of my opinion for Chinese
snacks would be due to the crazy long queue at this stall.
I was queueing for more that 40 minutes for 2 rolls of 'Popiah'....
Where's the crazy part?
Most of the people queueing in front of me
were purchasing 6~8 rolls of 'Popiah' at a time.... @.@""""
