Ann Chin Popiah - Popiah Stall with 64 Years of History

I have never really been a fan of popiah until I tried Ann Chin Popiah.

Apparently, Ann Chin has been around 1958, which means it has been around for 60+ years. That’s quite a feat, considering Singapore has only been independent for 57 years.

Ann Chin’s signboard proudly proclaims “Michelin Guide 2018” where Ann Chin was awarded Michelin Plate.

Even though the award was for the flagship stall in Chinatown, but I find the popiah at the Clementi outlet equally as good.

Popiah is a popular snack in Singapore. It is said to have originated from Fujian region in Southeast China. It is a popular dish among the Chinese community in Singapore and it is often used as an offering during Qingming Festival.

I think what makes Ann Chin Popiah so special are their handmade popiah skin and fried garlic.

The handmade popiah skin is paper-thin yet chewy and tough, holding all the ingredients together. The little golden nuggets of fried garlic gives the popiah a nice crunchy texture. The balance of sweet and savory is what makes Ann Chin Popiah stand out.

Besides popiah, Ann Chin also has kueh pie tee, yam roll and curry spring rolls.

I like that the kueh pie tee cups are crunchy. These savory cups are filled with radish filling and topped generously with eggs, fried garlic and fried shallots. Every cup gives you the perfect balance.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
