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!
