Old Long House Popiah

I wondered if the old auntie who took my orders was having a bad morning as she was pulling a glum face. Fortunately, it was another auntie who was rolling the popiah, though each roll turned out smaller than expected. Nitty gritty issues aside, I must confessed that the rolls here are one of the better ones I've had.I doubt it was because I ordered "加辣" as the rolls weren't very spicy. Yet the medley of juices from the braised turnips, sweet sauce and chilli made them extra flavorful.Although bits of soggy skin stuck to the plate, they were supple enough to hold the fillings, yet YIELDING moist and chewy bites. Gritty, juicy with tingling heat beneath the sweetness, each mouthful was a sensation.…Read More

Not a fan of popiah, but when someone offers you some.. well you be polite and chuck them in your mouth then.A colleague got this during lunch, apparently its one of the few popular popiah stalls. First impression, it looks like any other normal popiah. Looks pretty dry to me. Like there wasn't enough black sauce to it.The popiah is crunchy. It was really easy to chewy since the vegetables were fresh. Its wasnt bad for me, was actually suprisingly good. Will defintely order this again IF im around the area.. which is like once in a blue moon!…Read More

This healthy dish which contains mainly vegetables is very nice and filling. It is good for a takeaway meal to bring home for loved ones. However if you would like to eat there, it is also as good. It is served hot and fresh as the ingredients are specially cut infront of you when you buy. The service is really good and there isn't a really long queue so you don't have to wait very long. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a quick and filling meal. …Read More

Merely one dollar and twenty cents per roll, I can get to enjoy this delicious all time favourite snacks at a very affordable price. The popiah is very compact as it is filled with generous amount of beansprout, white turip, carrots, diced peanuts, spring onions, chinese sausages, sliced prawns and sliced omelette in it. The stall owner is very patient in making sure that every rolls of his popiahs are wrap nicely and not too wet in texture. The chilli here is really fragrant but very spicy too, which you may consider to add alittle bit to your popiah to enhance the taste. …Read More

My mother loves to eat popiah, sometimes she will even make our own popiah for dinner. Since she was craving for some nice popiah and we were in the vicinity of toa payoh, I drove her to old long house to for some delicious popiah. The popiah skin was very moist, it was very thin. I love their sweet sauce, it somehow adds more flavor to the turnip and carrots. The turnip and carrots were cooked till all their flavours are released. Somehow they still maintain their crunch which was quite surprising! I really enjoyed it!…Read More
