Kway Guan Huat Joo Chiat Popiah 95 Joo Chiat Rd #01-01 (Map) 9am – 2pm Mon
They had been for the longest time known for making fresh- bounce the dough and dip on pan, popiah skin that folks buy by the kilograms for their popiah parties. But the last few years saw them jump on the actual popiah bandwagon. They of course use their own fresh made and softly resilient popiah skin to make a fairly decadent prawn popiah, with the usual stewed turnips, egg, Chinese sausages, bean sprouts etc..They too offer online DIY popiah sets for the weekend home party. If you visit their shop, you'll still see their staff expertly bouncing the wobbly blob of dough and landing it on the pan to make one popiah skin at a time. Their online menu looks more like a cze menu gallery, but it's the popiah brand you remember them for.
Old Long House Popiah
https://www.oldlonghouse.com/ (Only DIY sets are available)
This brand harks back to 1930 as a street popiah peddler and they have come a long way. Their old school popiah, which once used bamboo shoots, has now switched to the popular turnips version. The popiah skin comes a little thicker but lends a firmly soft bite and it holds the moist ingredients in comfortably without tears. Their stewed turnips are a whisker softer which balances well with the skin crepe. They are quite generous with the use of stock-made crispy batter bits which lend a pleasurable bite with each mouthful. They now have an online DIY order set which comes with all the attendant ingredients and even kueh pieti (top hat) cup to fill up with those stewed turnips.
