25 Best Popiah in Singapore For Freshly Wrapped Rolls
Popiah is one of Singapore’s most popular snacks, with its origins in Fujian, China. It was traditionally eaten during the Qingming Festival, as fire was not allowed to be used and thus people had to consume cold food (寒食). Today, they are available daily, and commonly filled with ingredients such as crunchy turnip strips, beansprouts, shredded omelette and crushed peanuts, all wrapped in a paper-thin ‘crepe’. You’ll also find slightly different variations, from the Hokkien popiah which tends to have bamboo shoots and pork, as well as the Nyonya popiah which includes prawn. No matter which you prefer, we’ve got your popiah cravings covered with these 25 popiah stalls in Singapore!

968 Popiah
A humble hawker stall in Whampoa, what’s special about 968 Popiah is they offer not only the standard Popiah, but also a unique Sushi Popiah! The filling is almost identical to that of the usual popiah – cooked turnip, hard-boiled eggs, and prawns. But the difference is that below the popiah skin, a sheet of nori seaweed is laid under it to emulate maki sushi! After layering the usual ingredients,...
ABC Popiah
Located a short walk away from Toa Payoh MRT, ABC’s popiah is different from any other popiah you’ll find in Singapore. The sweetness of the popiah sauce leans on the milder side and can almost be completely masked by the flavours from other ingredients. This one is great for those who dislike the sweet component of popiahs but can come across as bland for those who prefer more flavourful popiahs....
Ann Chin Popiah
Founded by Mr Lim Kam Chwee who immigrated from Fujian to Singapore in the 1940s, he started selling popiah from a pushcart before moving into a stall along Upper Thomson Road. Now run by the second generation with multiple outlets across the island, Ann Chin Popiah even comes with a Michelin-recommended and still makes their popiah skin by hand! Stuffed generously with mang kwang (turnip), beansp...
Bee Heng Satay Popiah
Located at Newton Food Centre, get your Popiah fix from one of the oldest stalls that have been around since 1977, using a traditional recipe that’s been passed down the generations since the 1930s. The fillings are quite well-balanced, so you get a taste of everything – turnip, beansprouts, hard-boiled egg, pieces of prawns, and a special ingredient: crispy fish bits! As a snack it’s quite enjoya...
Fortune Food
Fortune Food is a brand with more than 10 years of experience serving Singapore hawker delicacies and they are literally the parents of the founders of Souperstar. They’ve come a long way from their humble beginnings. Once a simple hawker stall in Geylang Bahru, they’ve expanded to eight outlets and are known for handmade popiah skins which are made fresh daily, ensuring you’re served only the fre...
Fu Cheng Popiah
Another popiah stall located within Old Airport Road Food Centre, Fu Cheng’s rendition is well portioned, with the fillings tightly wrapped in a thin skin that is slightly crispy. The turnips are well-drained but perhaps slightly bland for those who prefer stronger flavours. Do ask for more chilli to get an extra kick and to balance out the sweetness of the sauce! It’s probably also worth a mentio...
Good Chance Popiah
Good Chance Popiah was founded in 1977, and one of the pioneers of Hokkien-style Popiah in Singapore. Now run by the third-generation, the eatery serves a DIY popiah set in either six, 12 or 18 pieces, which comes with everything you need for a hands-on experience, such as the filling mixture consisting of bamboo shoots, carrots, long beans and dried shrimp. You can also beef up your popiah rolls...
Hock Guan Popiah Rojak
Believe it or not, there’s not just one, or two, but three great popiah stalls located at Old Airport Road Food Centre. The popiah at Hock Guan is wrapped in a thin skin and it does fall apart slightly, but that might be because the ingredients were not wrapped up as tightly. Taste-wise, it comes with the usual ingredients of turnips, beansprouts, hard-boiled eggs, peanuts and crispy bits, along w...
Hock Le Xiang Popiah and Rojak
Looking for a snack to share at Bukit Timah Market & Food Centre? Head over to Hock Le Xiang for some popiah and rojak. The popiah is filled with juicy turnip, carrot fillings and a liberal amount of sweet sauce. You’ll surely enjoy it if the sauce is your favourite part of popiah! Give their rojak a try too, which comes with crisp you tiao, cucumbers and turnips generously tossed n a dark glossy...
Jit It Thai Sun Popiah
The popiah skin at Jit It Thai Sun Popiah is chewy and able to hold the ingredients together well without becoming soggy. The popiah here is on the slightly sweeter side as compared to most, but is well complemented by the savoury filling and chilli sauce. A word of warning: the chilli at Jit It Thai Sun has a fiery kick, so ask for additional at your own risk! Address: 449 Clementi Ave 3, #01-...
