How do you make the world’s thinnest pancake (just 1mm thick!) and stuff it with vegetables, seafood, fritters, nuts, and sauces, and then make sure it doesn’t break? This 84-year-old popiah shop in Singapore shows us exactly how.

Shop address: Kway Guan Huat Joochiat Popiah, 95 Joo Chiat Road, Singapore 427389

This is the first episode of our latest “Mean Street Gourmet” series about mom-and-pop stores across the Chinese diaspora. In the next episode, we visit a restaurant in Houston that makes wonton noodles inspired by other Asian cuisines.
