Today, my Mom opened the fridge, saw the prawns and etc etc and had a sudden brainstorm! She wanted to make popiah! hahahaha. So she and my sister aka the brillaint cook spent the afternoon preparing all the main ingredients while I, the cannot-make-it cook, returned to my very important job of...
Plucking the beansprouts and peeling garlics. /: Life is unfair I tell you. haha.
And so at around two, all the ingredients were ready! And it looks like that:
There's more but my camera can't capture everything :D So in clockwise order, its the chinese cabbage (I think), the I-don't-know-what-it-is-called but its the main ingredient, eggs, prawns and some deep-fired taupok cubes (: Oh of course, theres the popiah skin!
hahah! It's nice, a little salty and all :D
Anw, it wasnt all that easy wrapping the popiahs! /: My first one was too huge cus I was too greedy piling all the stuff in and it burst, the second one was too soggy and the third one ended up looking like a wanton dumpling. Most of us ended up eating our popiah with a spoon. HAHAHA.
And the best-looking popiah of the afternoon goes to... MRS MOMMY!
I know it looks grosssss :D But its actually really quite yummy!
A wonderful family lunch together (: Love love!
