A famous Melaka popiah specialist wrapping generous jicama, egg, beansprouts, sauces and pork lard in a fresh skin.
A Famous Melaka Popiah
Bunga Raya Popiah is one of Melaka’s best-known fresh spring-roll specialists. It began as a stall in front of Madam King’s on Jalan Bunga Raya before moving a few years ago to its current shop at Jalan Munshi Abdullah.
What to Order
Order the fresh popiah and choose the spicy level if offered. The filling is generous, with shredded sengkuang, egg, beansprouts, sauces and a distinctly savoury pork-lard crunch. Takeaways are the norm, though standing nearby and eating the popiah like a sandwich is part of the experience.
Dietary Note
Open daily from 10:30am to 7pm, Bunga Raya Popiah is a takeaway-only stop. This is a non-halal specialist because pork lard is part of the preparation.
