Vegetarian Poh Piah: Poh Piah with a Serious Crunch! Geylang East Central Part 5 of 6
With smart, liverpool, iwatch_ueat and tamago
Finding a Vegetarian Poh Piah is not easy. Finding a Vegetarian Poh Piah which is also good to eat is even harder. That is why this Poh Piah is being featured! The skin is handmade, so it is nice and chewy. But it is what lurks inside that makes it stands out from the rest. When you bite into this Poh Piah, you will immediately be delighted with super crunchy tasty bits reminiscent of the old "Nestle Crunch" ads. (The one where every bite causes an earthquake)
Those following my Poh Piah trial will know that so far I have yet to find a Poh Piah to rave about. This Poh Piah is very good and better then some of the more famous ones I have blogged previously, but it still lacks that ravability (sic) factor. I found the turnips not soft and sweet enough (? lack of dried shrimp) and of course the absence of animal proteins meant that my umami receptors suffered from neglect. However, the crunchy stuff is so good that it almost made up for its other shortcomings. 4/5
Conclusion
Considering that it is all vegetarian, this Poh Piah still managed to put other Poh Piahs to shame! However, I am still on the trail of the ultimate Poh Piah, so if you have one to recommend please let me know yah?

Hey! I've been perusing your blog for a while now and I appreciate how you update so frequently, and your reviews and photos are pretty awesome too! Keep up the great work. :)
Hi Leslie,
Rem me? Since u are ard the geylang east area, do rem to go to the fishball noodles that i recommended u. Its along Joo Seng road.
Keep up the good work!
Hey...
Been following your blog too.
I really like the popiah from the food court in the basement of Sim Lim Square. The popiah is wrapped pretty tight and when u hold it in your chopsticks, it doesn't 'disintegrate' even when u shake it.
Pretty good stuff.
Filling is not too soggy, just the correct moisture. At least for me.
Hope you have the chance to review it.
woww goodness me i never thought you'll really do this! thank you for your efforts you've just got yourself a loyal ieatishootipostee in me :D i'll definitely go over for a try some time soon meanwhile RAWK ON :D
cheers,
et
Thank you food doctor. I have been followin your blog for a while (9 mths). It never fails to bring warm memories from home. May your tastebud always be insatiable
Guess when you are familiar with something or someone, it seems you know them a long time! My blog was only started at end Aug 2006! ie only 5 mths old! You must have been reading since I was using my old compact camera. I hope you feel that the pics have improved somewhat. Thanks so much for your support!
There's a popiah stall in yishun central, blk 928 that is quite nice. u might wanna try.
the turnip is squeezed just nice, leaving the skin not soggy at all. those crunchy bits are also added in it.
this stall also does not add lettuce, which i find spoils the taste of popiah.
the one at marina square foodcourt is pretty gd as well. gosh i've lived in aljunied all my life and i've never been to this stall =X
hey mint,
u oso stay in aljunied all ur life ah?? me too lei!! it's near to geylang east ntuc lor..
but i think i haven't try before.. heehee
hi khim, yep! haha what a coincidence ^^ i only tried the one at the hawker centre.. that one's average.. haha, ok shall try that one soon! i love popiah! x.x
Personally, I think that the Joo Chiat Popiah is still the best having gone round trying popiah from so many different stalls.
hi, for popiahs rite, you can try the one at newton food circus. that one is to die for.. its super nice and the taste is just right! much better than qi ji's!
the nicest popiah is at thomson plaza foodcourt(:
