"If you are a popiah lover, then you really have no excuse if you have not been to Kway Guan Huat. Not only is this eatery a part of the Singapore food heritage, the popiah here is quite simply, darn shiok.
Take a look at the popiah skin. Nice and translucent, yet it holds a chock full of filling without breaking or allowing the sauce to ooze out. The texture is chewy and it leaves that wonderful sweet carbo aftertaste upon chewing. The second most important ingredient is, of course, the turnip filling. The savoury sweet filling here has that wonderful umami oommph."

"Kway Guan Huat is a very old name, famous for handmade popiah skins, and of course, popiah itself and kueh pie tee... The lady boss Zita is wonderfully good-humoured and easy to talk to.
Their basic roll (S$2) is filled with turnip, carrots, crispy fish bits (love these!), fresh lettuce and blanched beansprouts. Premium roll with prawn and egg - I did the takeaway test for this, to see how the popiah skin would hold up. Three hours later, it was soaked but incredibly still resilient and holding its contents securely. Was it tasty? Oh yes!

"Kway Guan Huat Popiah (or more commonly known as Joo Chiat Popiah), is one of the few Popiah Restaurants in Singapore that still make their own popiah skin. It’s very interesting to watch how the masters throw the dough in mid air and make it into the paper-thin Poh Piah skins. Try your hands at rolling your own popiah with their DIY Popiah set, and they cater for Popiah Party too! Free Popiah delivery for orders above $250, otherwise collect them at Joo Chiat yourself. Personally, I prefer their Kueh Pie Tee over the popiah, and I’d go as far to say that they have the best Kueh Pie Tee in Singapore."
