 Popia
Popia is a type of chinese spring roll with a very flat and thin
surface, and round in shape. It's tasteless unless you stuffed it
with ingredients on your choice, turning it into a delicious spring
roll.
The most popular fillings are like yam bean, salad,
bean sprouts, carrots, etc. It used to be a Chinese favorite. But
now, even the Malays are trying their ways to make the food in
their own style. There is just no right or wrong method in making a
tasty food in Malaysia sometimes. All races live in harmony and
it's evidenced on the food.
The nyonya version of Popia is special, which the
filling consists of meat (prawns, crab meat), soya bean cake
(taukua), eggs, shallots, chillies, garlic, etc. Not matter how you
make it, as long as the fillings is right for your own taste, you
may enjoy Popia filled with tuna !!
Popia can be served fresh (not fried), or you can
deep fry it to get a crispy spring roll.
Just walk along the street market. You may get
Chinese spring roll or Malay spring roll easily from
RM0.50.
