Hock Le Xiang (Bukit Timah Market & Food Centre)

2 for $3
1 for $1.60

This popiah, which is thicker than some I've had before, is on the moister side. Aunty puts quite a bit of sweet dark sauce.

Have been a patron since about 10 years ago and am now sort of friends with the stall co-owner (the aunty) who is friendly if you get to know her. Say hi to her!! :)

Have tried the rojak before some time ago. Not bad either! Try both the popiah and rojak here.

When a dish is seen on almost every table in a hawker centre, you know you have to try it for yourself. Hock Le Xiang offers light bites like popiah ($1.50) and rojak, but what Burpple Tastemaker Kenneth Lee recommends is the freshly made Rojak (from $3), which is as good as he remembers it to be from his childhood. Expect crisp you tiao, cucumbers and turnips generously tossed together in a dark glossy prawn paste, along with a shower of ground peanuts on the top. It's a great midday snack or a dish to share when eating in a group!
Avg Price: $5 per person

$3 for a plate of Rojak with a wide variety of ingredients like cucumber, pineapple, turnip, crispy fried you tiao, tau pok, bean sprouts tossed in a thick sauce and finished with crunchy peanuts! However the sauce was too slightly on the sweeter side. Not for the health-conscious!

Was doing some random googling on food in this food centre and realised that there's a popiah store here (#02-152). Got one roll to try it out and IT WAS GOOD. I dunno if it is because the Auntie puts a lot of sweet sauce or there are some special ingredients inside it. But it just tastes different. The price is not that cheap though - $1.50 per roll (Many friends said its the market rate 😂). I will definitely order from here again.
