POPIAH SKIN MAKER AT CHOWRASTA MARKET IN PENANG
POPIAH, THE TRADITIONAL FOOD LOVED BY ALL MALAYSIANS, IS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO FIND. BUT SOME ARTISANS STILL CONTINUE MAKING POPIAH SKIN THE WAY IT HAS BEEN MADE IN THE PAST. FAMOUS IN PENANG UNCLE LIM’S SHOP IS ONE OF A FEW REMAINING TRADITIONAL HAND-MADE POPIAH SKIN MAKERS.
Holding a blob of the white elastic dough in his hand, a man is whipping and smacking it onto hot flat-bottomed cast-iron pan in front of him leaving a paper-thin layer of popiah skin. The skin heats for barely five seconds, and before it burns, his assistant scraps it off the pan and stacks it on top of the pile. Occasionally, the man peels off the skin himself if his assistant is having troubles keeping up. Skin after skin, the man is making popiah skin in front of his shop with such dexterity and flawless precision that I found him mesmerising to watch.
His shop, located at the busy Chowrasta market, is where Mr. Lim Kim Hoe, the famous Penang popiah skin maker, has been making his popiah skin for half a century. Although Mr. Lim, locally known as Uncle Lim, a fourth generation popiah skin maker, is now physically indisposed, his children continue the family business. The man making popiah skin now is Gary Lim, his son.
Location: This popiah skin making shop is located at the Chowrasta market in Georgetown of Penang state of Malaysia at the following address: 5, Jalan Chowrasta. They make popiah skin from about 7 am till noon. If popiah skin is made daily, they make popiah with house-made fillings only on Sunday.
