Popiah Lamentations

Saturday was our very own personal popiah fiesta day! It all started with someone mentioning that they haven't had some good popiah in a while. Mun Sum, then casually mentioned that she could make it over the weekend. That was all we needed to hear!!

As you can see from this very well staged picture, things began very orderly and gracefully, with all the popiah "liao" laid out so that we could build them in an orderly fashion.



I guess our dreams of symetrically arranged popiah's presented in a neatly stacked pile went out the door when mun sum decided that she was going to attempt to build the largest popiah ever built by an engineer! The picture here doesn't really do it justice. It was so huge, she hardly could chew on it... After that, the conversation degenerated into discussions of whose skin on the popiah is thicker, which somehow transitioned into a debate about 4-skin, then to... err you guys get the idea lah.





Not wanting to be outdone, Stephen decided to construct himself a perfectly shaped popiah as well. To his credit, it was very well shaped, just the right length, and girth... Heck, it even gets a Nick thumbs up of approval!

As for the rest of us, present company included, it is not lost on us to remember an important rule in life. Sometimes, it doesn't matter how big your popiah is, as long as it satisfies your hunger, its a good popiah... ;)
