Kway Guan Huat

My wife swears by this popiah skin. It can be used to deep fry as well without breaking up.

I don’t usually eat popiah because for some reason, the taste doesn’t really appeal to me. So I reckoned that it would take a really good popiah to change my preference. So, I went searching online for really good popiah places and decided to head to this place.
I’ve heard that the popiah skin here is painstakingly handmade and indeed, the popiah skin here is something special. It is thin and translucent, and really a treat to bite into. But the essence of a good popiah is in the fillings, and I tried the crab popiah just for the hell of it. I really enjoyed the taste of it even though I couldn’t really see the crab meat (well at about $ 2, what would you expect). The flavor of the myriad ingredients in the popiah really exploded in my mouth and I was very satisfied with the taste.
This is indeed one of the premier popiah places in Singapore and even if you are not a popiah lover (like me), you should give this place a try.

Popiah is relatively a easy dish to eat but an extremely tedious dish to prepare. What makes a good popiah would be the popiah skin and its ingredient.
Kway Guan Huat is an establishment that has been dishing out thin, soft and chewy popiah skins for more than 70 years. If you visit the shop in the morning, you may even catch the popiah skin masters in action. BTW, they don’t just sell the popiah skin, they do sell the ingredients and kueh pie tie too. You can also buy ready made rolls. The popiahs that they sell here are Peranakan style rather than the usual Hokkien ones that we find in the hawker centers.
At times when I have gathering at home, I would come by the store and buy the DIY Claypot Popiah Set. It is a relative no-​frill item to dish out. It is often a hit amongst my guests.
