Ann Chin Popiah (Bendemeer)

For those who enjoy popiah, Ann Chin Popiah should be no stranger as they have been included in the Michelin Guide. Let's have a little background of Ann Chin Popiah. 

They are a well-known, family-run establishment that has delighted customers with its fresh and flavorful popiah for decades. Founded in the 1950s, Ann Chin has become synonymous with quality and tradition, offering handmade popiah that features thin, delicate skins wrapped around a generous filling of shredded turnips, carrots, lettuce, and a mix of aromatic spices. The popiah is topped with savoury sauces, a sprinkle of crushed peanuts, and a touch of chilli for those who like a bit of heat. They have multiple outlets across Singapore.

Ann Chin Popiah also offers a delightful rendition of Katong Laksa. Their version of this classic dish stays true to its roots, featuring a rich, aromatic coconut milk broth infused with a harmonious blend of spices. The broth is creamy and slightly spicy, offering a comforting warmth with every spoonful. We had Laksa with succulent prawns, egg, Tau Pok and fresh cockles, each adding their own distinct flavour to the dish. 

Katong Laksa with Cockles and Prawns - $4.80

We also ordered Kueh Pie Tee which is a popular Nonya snack known for its delightful crunch and flavorful fillings. These bite-sized treats feature delicate, crispy pastry shells shaped like small cups, filled with a savoury mixture of finely shredded turnips and carrots.

The combination of the crunchy shell and the savoury, juicy filling creates a perfect harmony of textures and tastes.

Our Popiah Orders

Ann Chin's signature popiah is a time-honoured favourite, celebrated for its authentic taste and meticulous preparation. Each popiah is a masterful blend of fresh ingredients, starting with a delicate, handmade popiah skin that is soft yet resilient, perfectly encasing the flavorful filling within. The filling is a hearty mix of finely shredded eggs, carrots, and bean sprouts, cooked slowly with garlic and a blend of seasonings until tender and aromatic.

Signature Popiah - $2.50

Although this will be my last choice on the menu, I decided to try it since my friend wanted to order.

Vegetarian Popiah - $2.20 Per Piece

While we thought that the vegetarian popiah would be somehow similar to the original, subtracting the prawns etc. Instead, they had them replaced with mocked meat and even mushrooms were included too.
