Nyonya Popiah

This is popiah, a hokkien styled dish that is really famous in Malaysia and Singapore. This is the version that I am used to seeing. Tonite however that changed…..

What the heck is this???

HUGE! This is not a photoshopped picture but the nyonya version of popiah. Do nyonya people like things big? hm….. . Anyways it was made by my mother’s friend who is a nyonya lady. You can imagine that with the size of these fellas, it hits the spot for a complete meal on its own. I only ate one but it made me quite full. Like the hokkien popiah it is stuffed with bean sprouts, french beans, lettuce leaves, grated carrots, dried prawns, seaweed and shredded omelette but without the chinese sausage. Tasted pretty good to me. Oh and another difference compared to the hokkien version to this is , the popiah skin had to be thicker to hold in the extra ingredients without breaking apart.

Steamed Bread

I forgot to take the name of the kopitiam down for this dish. I’ll get it next week. My friends and I were eating breakfast after the Sunday mass nearby my church in Air Panas, Setapak. Way after finishing our main meals, we stayed there and chit chatted which made one of my friends order a couple of steamed bread.

I was expecting two pairs of sliced white bread without the crust slathered in butter and kaya but what we received was this :

Buns! They looked tasty like the kind that freshly baked. These buns were also slathered in thick butter and kaya spread. It costs RM 1.20 per bun. Too bad after tasting them it didnt end up tasting that good as it looks. The previous steam bread is better.
