Don't you love spring rolls or commonly known as popiah here in Malaysia. If you are Malaysian you will know what I am talking about, but if you are a foreigner travelling to Malaysia, make it a point to try our famous popiah when you are here. Basically, there are two types: fried and wet. The fried one is obviously fried and the wet one is well not fried! Haha : )
The best wet popiah I have ever eaten was in Penang. This popiah wins hands down. You can have the spicy one or ask for it without chilli paste/sambal. However, they give you some spicy soup that you can pour over the popiah or dip into before eating. As the kids were sleeping, we decided to ta pau/ take away. Hearing us ooh and aah as we ate, the kids woke up and they enjoyed their popiah, ones without the sambal. Let me tell you, the sambal is yummylicious!

Where is this stall? It's at the Padang Brown Hawker Centre in Jalan Perak.

There were other stalls that I would have loved to try but we were early and they hadn't opened yet. There were stalls selling fried oyster (oh chien), penang laksa, fried keow teow, ABC with ice cream and many more. These are all my favourites and I am looking forward to my next trip to Penang to try them out.

If you are worried about the ambience or lack of it, don't fret. New stalls (brick ones) like the other Hawker Centres that can be seen around Penang, are being built for these stalls.
