Halal Pohpiah
Published by Foong at 11:34 am under Hawker Food, Snacks |
It is not easy to find the Malay-style pohpiah that is delicious. As far as I know there are only two good Malay pohpiah stalls, one in Swatow Lane (who has moved into New World Park but after that has moved again but I do not know where) and the second one is the sole halal store at the roadside hawker centre along Jalan Johor, right next to the Yong Tau Hoo stall.
It is quite different from the Chinese pohpiah and it has taugeh (beansprouts) with a different type of sauce. Taste is the sweetness of the vegetables mixed with the sweet and sour sauce .

hi there, just wondering if you have the recipe for tee nya kuih, the one dat serve with gula melaka syrup?? thanks.
looks very different from chinese pohpiah. Never come across any halal pohpiah so far though. I guess it is still very rare for malays to see pohpiah hurh?
babe_kl: sorry, I asked around and couldn’t get the recipe now but I remember hearing that it is quite easy to make so maybe I may post the recipe in future.
inspireme: Yeah, it is quite rare to find Malay pohpiah although the springrolls are more common.
Just tried it out. You are right. It was delicious and I think a lot of it was because it was served pipping out.
The one previously in Swatow Lane and then moved into New World had, so I was told by the New World people, moved to Lorong Kulit, near the City stadium.
Have not been there because that is not my area of town – so not familiar and again you are right, they do sell the most delicious pohpiah in town.
I think they originated in a coffee shop that used to operate just next to the old Cathay cinema along Penang Road in the 70s.
Used to buy them and then eat it with my fingers as I enjoyed the movie – all these down memory lane when I was a little boy.
