This is something that I would die for when I am in Ipoh, Ipoh most delicious popiah. Just look at the crowd waiting for the popiahs. They do not come and just to buy one but plenty.... can I have 4 pieces, 8.....10 pieces. Therefore sometimes the que can be long but it is worth to wait for. This mobile popiah stoe can be found at Canning Garden, Ipoh.
The popiah is run by an elder but strong man in his 60's. His popiah consist of fantastic filling that most other popiah stall don't have such as crispy fried prawns and crab meat. Other fillings are cooked sweet turnip, cucumber sticks, hard beancurd, fried eggs and a dash of deep fried onion and garlic.
Popiah skins are placed on the wooden table, firstly he spread the hoi sin sauce and chilli sauce on the the popiah skin and a pieces of green leaf. Then he will place the fillings. One the fillings are done, he will start the wrapping process.
I would recommend everyone this popiah as this is the best popiah that I ever tasted and yet to find anyone one as delicious as this one.
Regards, Sidney
