I stand here as a witness to the best popiah in Melaka, nay, the world! It's a gem of a find since most people will dismiss the unassuming stall, but not the locals. This popiah stall at Jalan Bunga Raya has been in operation for since time immemorial and picked up a couple of awards during its reign too - including a seal of endorsement by the good people at Ho Chiak!
There is no signage on the mobile stall but this stall is so popular that it doesn't need one. It totally eschews the trappings of modern marketing and prefers to maintain its (relative) anonymity. The queue for the sublime popiah kinda gives it away though. Just look for the Popia Bunga Raya sticker hidden in the stall. :)
The popiah in Melaka costs RM 2.50 (small) and RM 3 (big). The sign says it's open till 9 pm but don't let that fool you! It's a trick, I tell you. A TRICK! The owner usually packs up by early afternoon coz all the popiah is sold out! We wanted to eat this on the very first day, but the stall was nowhere to be found. You really need to arrive early (and queue up) for this.
The secret ingredient which makes this popiah so great is the deep fried pork lard. I have always been highly skeptical of claims that there's one ingredient that makes or breaks a dish, but here I stand corrected. The turnips, another important ingredient in popiah, are fresh and juicy too!
I had mine with chilli sauce and it was just BURSTING in flavor. I approve!
Hail to the King (of popiah), baby!
P/S - Excuse my T-shirt. :p
nice tee-shirt..... slurp!!!
Damn. That looks good. And this is coming from a Taiping guy.
Mmm yum yum.. How come I missed this one? Damn.. Next time gots to tawaf the town. Lol..

eh how you get around in melaka? By taxi? Or you drive? I'm going there next two week too. Any recommended place to visit and stay?
HB, ahhhh! Tran Fats! But mighty good still. I had mine in Taipei. Now Board of Health is after all food venders in fried foods. Too much tran fats in it and children now soon will have high blood pressures and other health problems. That in Taiwan. They want young people to learn to eat right and healthly now.
Hey HB,
nice t ^^
i know you're not into this stuff anymore, but i though you might be able to give some advice anyhow. i found some (11) 50mg tetrazepam pills in my flat. they where best bevore 2002 though.. think they could still be of any use?
damn you, HB. I was doing ok with my diet, untill I saw that pic. Then nothing would do but some noodles ( ramen) a little chese, and black olives. mmmm, homer says good. snore... tom
plus I like your shirt, and that is a whole different argument round here tonight. guess I will be taking some repose on the couch. ( hey, I thoght it was funny: (No it is NOT). Guess who won? I'll be on the damn couch tonite. Still, I thought your shirt was ok. funny even. dammit. He said as he adjusted the pillow on the couch. Tom
imantulen: Heh! I love novelty t-shits with witty phrases. :)
thatjames: Hmm...come to think of it, I haven't had Ipoh style popiah so I don't have a basis for comparison. But this is pretty good stuff. :)
maggot: The stall is a bit hard to find - it's just a stall without any signage (for the front). It's located at Jalan Bunga Raya though. :)
Desmond: Yeah, I love this popiah! :)
Shirley Snow: It's good stuff...had to wait for a rather long time for it though, but it's worth it! :)
chefmel: I agree, it's that elusive umami taste. :)
This shirt is the freelance gynecologist one. ;)
I got it in Melaka.
goolooloo: I drove down there. It's not very far from KL/PJ. :)
I recommend you stay at the ship museum! It's RM 95 per night and you get to stay on a huge wooden ship and there's a lot of stuff packaged in to boot!
Vickie: I'm never going to be an ambassador for eating healthy. ;)
lev: I don't know mate, I suggest you mail them to me to "test". ;)
Seriously though, yeah, by all means, take them. I would. Pharmaceuticals are still active for a couple of years after the use-by date, the date is a minimum estimate (to avoid lawsuits) so it might be still good to go. It won't hurt to try anyway.
I've never had tetrazepam - it's not available here. Enjoy! :)
Tom Robinson: I have a bad habit of eating right before I sleep too. Heh! Night, my friend. :)
If in doubt, just add lard!
Bin Bin i tried this b4 & it's GOOOOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!!!!!! miss it so much~ ):
Nice shirt, wahaha!
Fat man popiah heh this one is nice, there's a really old dewd that sells popiah on Jonker street - his is equally awesome.
Lagi lard ftw.
That's why I love Melaka food so much, EVERYTHING has lard in it.
And Jonker 88 baba cendol is something that can't be missed.
last time the father make one even nicer. hehe...
KY: Heh! Good policy. ;)
Jade Zheng: Yeah, it's nice popiah eh? The crispy pork lard adds a lot to the popiah. :)
Eh, another person calling me Bin Bin. :p
TianChad: Haha! My freelance gynecologist t-shirt. Got it in Melaka. :)
ShaolinTiger: I didn't manage to eat the cendol in Jonker Street. I'll check it out next time. :)
Yeah, this guy's popiah is something else eh?
Jys: Hmm...family tradition. I like. :)

LOL... your t-shirt actually stole away pohpiah's thunder!
I Want!! I Want!!

Thanks HB. for giving me a laugh, and making me get off my ass and cook. Google hominy, cherokee or welsh breakfast and enjoy. but Thank you sir.
Tom
If in doubt, just add lard!
Tom Robinson: True, that. :)
shimmers999: Haha! It was love at first sight. I just HAD to get it when I saw it. :)
cweelee: Awesome popiah, this. :)
headsteadi: It's really good stuff - worth the drive down if you have satay celup and chicken rice balls while you're there. :)
Tom Robinson: Sounds good! The next thing I'm interested in doing is a turducken. :)
foodcrazee aka mike: Haha! Very nice philosopy. ;)

p/s: sorry for the repeated comments. :p
The last photo of you stuffing that huge popiah in your mouth seems a bit hard to swallow (no pun intended!)
And that shirt.. I'd really want to know where to get one. Heh.

Oh, he comes back at night again? Interesting!

This product does what it says it will. Just like any diet pill you still have to eat healthy and work out! Just stick with it.
My skin is better, my hair has stopped falling out, I'm sleeping better and I'm not craving sugar and not having the highs and lows like I used to. I'm not bloating and its helped with fluid retention. As a multi-vitamin, its fantastic even before you add the weight reduction. The weight is coming off slowly but is now actually coming off! My friend bought a similar product at the same time with a lot less miligrams of acai berry and noticed no change. She then tried some of mine - what a difference. Be very careful of lower doses - they don't work. Poor food choices over the years depletes vitamin levels and we run on empty, it's reminded me that I'm doing the best for myself with these. Great product. Thanks again.
On the other hand the blue sling back and sandals with leopard prints are bound to render a certain metro-sexual look to the modern man. And paddock boots have always been a specialized area for Manolo Blahnik.
They can go with anything you wear and come in suede, with bows, ruffles, velvet lace up, cage booties and even with glitters and feathers and range from under $100 to over $1,000, depending on the designer.
This has truly sparked up an concept in my thoughts. This can be a wonderful web site submit.
I am truly thankful to you for providing us with this invaluable related information. My spouse and I are definitely grateful, simply the documents we needed.
I'm grateful for you because of this excellent information. You truly did make my day :
A definitely very good submit by you my good friend. We have bookmarked this web page and can arrive again following several days to verify for just about any new posts which you make.
There are two brands that stand out among the rest. The first is Gucci. This company has been producing shoes and bags using genuine leather. Those who want to party can try to get Britt Mid Heel boots.
Exceptional post, I share the same views. I wonder why this amazing the entire global population really does not just think just like us in addition to the weblog operator :D
Following my own analysis, millions of people in the world get the credit loans from various creditors. Thus, there's good possibilities to get a auto loan in every country.
