The answer is popiah n kueh pie tee. Isn't it really easy? (",)

Alright, the truth is out! ^_^

Popiah n Kueh Pie Tee, that is! >_<

These two items are chosen firstly because they comprise of one common ingredient, the steamed/stir-fried turnip. It's the main character in both delicacies. Be careful not to add too much of the gravy into the kueh pie tee cup lest it soaks up the moisture and loses its crispiness. =)

Secondly, though they are not rythmic words, these two terms seem to ryhme. Read that aloud a few times and u may get what I mean. Popiah n kueh pie tee... Popiah n kueh pie tee... (".)

Thirdly, and obviously, I like both of them! I always see them at buffets and usually we got to DIY. I can't make nice kueh pie tees coz the amount of ingredients is either unproportionate, or that the crisp cup got too wet. If properly done, it can be incredibly crunchy. =D

Jie Yi mentioned that she liked kueh pie tee when I got her to do the ordering of BBQ food in school that day. Though it was a casual remark from her, I remember that! =D I bet OZH didn't hear that, coz I could tell he was not keen in the ordering of food as he was not joining us at the chalet. He started playing with JY's iPhone halfway through. I should have sent him home then. Hahaha..

I already had this URL in mind but was not confirmed until JY's remark. (",)

Here we have it! Presenting the first three respondents and the winner!

1) Jie Yi - 2 Dec @ 6.50pm (Winner)
2) Fion - 5 Dec @ 1.04pm
3) Jun Xian - 7 Dec @ 6.42pm

Jie Yi was told not to reveal the answer after she had found the URL. Didn't anyone notice that she was very quiet when SY, VT, DT and HT bombarded Mr Justin & I over the URL? >_<

Poor gal, had to hold on to this secret for so long... =(


P.S. Since Cai Xuan found out the URL from Fion (instead of figuring it out himself), his name is not included in the list above.


Popiah (a.k.a. Spring roll)
This Chinese-style spring rolls are called “Popiah” in the Hokkien dialect.

A popiah “skin” is a soft, thin paper-like crepe or pancake made from flour which is coated with a sweet sauce, and optionally with hot chilli sauce before it is filled.

The filling is mainly finely grated and steamed or stir-fried turnip or jicama (known locally as bangkuang), which has been cooked with a combination of other ingredients such as bean sprouts, French beans, and lettuce leaves, along with grated carrots, slices of Chinese sausage, thinly sliced fried toufu, chopped peanuts or peanut powder and shredded omelette. As a fresh spring roll, the popiah skin itself is not fried.

Kueh Pie Tee
A classic nonya favourite consisting of a crisp shell filled with turnip and often topped with egg strips, prawns, sprigs of parsley and chilli sauce.
