Popiah, Oh Popiah!

18 July 2007. The usual suspects - Meng Wai, Jacq, Christina, Steven and me. New additions - Joelin, our new Counsellor, and Lawrence Law, IT Department's new henchman. Scene of the crime - Student Admin Meeting Room

Popiahs only cost RM1.20 per piece. But we decided we wanted to go through ALL the trouble of making our own.

Meng Wai specially bought the Popiah 'skins' from Penang, and the rest of us contributed various fillings: jiu hu char, boiled egg, fried shallots, lettuce, sauces, etc.

We discovered that folding a popiah is much harder than it looks. Half of us were eating popiah with 'torn' skins or with fillings falling out one end while we were desparately cramming the other end into our mouths.

Lawrence proudly showed off his almost perfect popiah.

Oh, do let me tell you all a bit about our new colleagues. Lawrence - has been with Sunway Group for a number of years - has two children - perceived as quiet (riiiiiiight) - is Superman in disguise - loves Transformers - is fairer than Snow White - loves chocolates.

Oh woe is me! I don't have a picture of Joelin. She is a graduate of UM and VERY TALL.
