"Popiah Party"

Yummy, yummy ... we had a mini "Popiah Party" at home today (for no particular reasons ... simply just for fun), where the ingredients are being laid out and we make popiahs with proportions of ingredients to our personal preference.

Popiah (simplified Chinese: 薄饼) is a Hokkien-style fresh spring roll common in Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan.

A popiah "skin" is a thin pancake made from wheat flour which is covered with a sweet sauce, and hot chilli sauce, before it is filled. The filling is mainly finely grated "bangkuang", which has been cooked with a combination of other ingredients such as bean sprouts, french beans, lettuce leaves, grated carrots, slices of Chinese sausage, crushed peanuts, shredded omelette, shredded meat, bean curd, prawns, etc.

Having such a party isn't an easy task at all ... my mum has spent her whole morning preparing the above-mentioned ingredients; as most of them need to be finely grated/shredded ... it's alot of work indeed.


Look at my kiddoes! ... They're enjoying their finger lickin' good - DIY popiahs ...
