Batu Lanchang Food Stalls Complex Popiah

In Penang, we are blessed with so many kinds of hawker foods that choosing what to eat can be a dilemma, albeit a pleasant one. Too oily? Too spicy? Too heavy? Then, go for our good old-fashioned popiah (spring roll), it is among the least 'sinful' hawker foods. Mdm Koay, the proprietress of this popiah stall is an old-timer who has been selling this dish for more than 30 years. She learnt the trade from her mother who has retired due to old age.
