Popiah Platters

The idea of sharing a popiah platter with the family always sounds good, but home cooks understand how tedious the preparation process is. We say, leave it to the professionals to prep this local favourite using time-honoured techniques. Then all you have to do is roll one (or more) just the way you like it. 

The classic prawn popiah platter comes with the usual toppings of eggs, crushed peanuts, shallots and beansprouts, as well as six handmade wheat skins, fresh tiger prawns and vegetable filling. For something different, there's the option of fresh flower crab meat instead of the tiger prawns. Click here to order.
