If you are looking for a fresh, lighter local snack packed with flavour, popiah could be just the thing.
For the past two years, regulars at Lucky 313 Cafe on Green Road have been returning for the popiah made by Wong Hie Yii, 63, a familiar face at the cafe.
Despite having no prominent stall signage, Wong’s popiah has built a loyal following, with regulars praising its savoury flavours and fresh ingredients. The rolls often sell out by mid-morning, making the modest stall easy to miss but hard for fans to forget.
A native of Simanggang, Wong brings more than 40 years of culinary experience to her craft. She only began making popiah in recent years after looking for a dish that was both delicious and less physically demanding to prepare.
