#til from Mdm Violet Oon herself the meaning behind these spring rolls. Bamboo shoots will sprout at the start of spring, marking the new year and new beginnings. Traditionally, bamboo shoots are added to shredded turnip and carrots for the popiah fillings. The Hokkiens also add on other crunchy veg like cabbage and green beans (but I’ve not had that style at home before). I’ve always had popiah during Chinese New Year but I never knew its symbolism. And boy is it tedious to prepare! Thankfully for the DIY popiah platter ($58 for 6pcs) @violetoonsingapore, you can enjoy these hearty rolls without the chopping and all. The outlet at @jewelchangiairport focuses more on heritage food and they also have grilled meats.
