Queenstown Popiah (Closed)

Queenstown Popiah! Does it ring the bell? If you have been to the demolished Margaret Drive Hawker Centre, upon spotting this stall, I bet you will have some flash back memories.It was a lazy Sunday afternoon that I decided to visit the place when almost half of the hawker stalls were closed and caught sight of this stall by chance. It was manned by an elderly couple and business seemed slow on such a day.I still miss the good days when popiah cost $1 each but nowadays Popiahs are mostly charged

The stall is originated from the already demolished Margaret Drive Food Centre. It is supposed to be the same but not quite. The original stall owner decided to retire and his son has since taken over part of the business. The son has a stall at Commonwealth Crescent Food Centre making the popiah skins. The father decided to pass the other part of business to an old friend. This old friend used to run a braised duck rice and noodle stall in Margaret Drive Food Centre. As this old friend is catch

It was tea break so we went for popiah treat...The skin is nice and thin, the turnip filling is tasty, and there’s just enough taugeh to give it some crunch...The proportions of garlic, sweet sauce and chilli are just right, and there’s also a very interesting crunchy topping that’s a little like fried breadcrumbs that you don’t get at many other popiah stalls...They don’t add the cursory kng chye (coriander/cilantro) that’s so damn common and irritating in so many popiah joints...

You may just want to settle for a simple lunch and popiah will just be the right choice for you on a hot busy afternoon. This stall popiah has the best taste of all the other popiah I have tried it before. Their homemade popiah skin goes very well with the other ingredients in the popiah, especially with the adding of their sweet sauce, garlic paste and chilli as well. The skin is so perfect that it melts in your mouth immediately once you eat it. You should try it.

The Skin is quite springy and the chillis is quite nice for me. However, the taste is not very fresh. I see the preparation of beansprout which has spots of black region - beansprout has put in opened for a long period of time or the beansprout bought from the stall may not be that fresh. The radish is overcooked cooked, making the radish too soaky to be eaten.

This might be the famous popiah stall that moved from the already closed down Margaret Drive Food Centre to this food centre. I did not see the familiar uncle there today though but this popiah has got a familiar taste. The skin was a nice thin layer. The juicy filling consists of turnips, bean sprouts, boiled egg, grounded peanuts. I always asked for extra chilli to go with it. This is easily one of the better popiah that i have eaten.

My mum and I ordered two rolls of popiah, one spicy the other not too spicy. My mum dun like too much of chilli in her popiah as she thinks that it will mask away the original flavours of the turnip. This stall is very generous with their ingredients. The entire popiah was so stuffed with the turnip, their turnip is very sweet and tasty, they cooked it with carrots. Their chilli is really good, veri spicy, a contrast in taste as compared to the sweet sauce. Their sweet sauce is rather thick but

Nowadays it seems like it is the norm for popiahs to be priced at least $1.20. Gone are the days where popiah is only $1. Anyway, I ordered two popiahs from this popiah stall. Even though this stall's popiah is much more expensive, but the amount of ingredients more than make up for it since it is bursting with ingredients. The mang guang is not too soft and it is not too overly saltish. I love the bits of peanuts and fried stuff inside the popiah which gives it more tasty. In addition, the popi
