Popiah

Hi, my name is Michael Keh.

I'm the third-generation owner of Kueh Guan Huat Joo Chiat Popiah.

My shop has been around since the 1930s, so it has spanned three generations.

We have always been in Joo Chiat Road.

Whether that's, how true that is, I'm not too sure, though, yeah.

But definitely it doesn't originate in China lah.

Popiah does originate from China.

They have the Fujian or Hokkien version.

Now, seasonal tastes at the West in Singapore has long been a favourite buffet destination for many diners, and now it's back after a major $3 million makeover.

Patched on level 32 with its sweeping views of Marina Bay and the South China Sea, the restaurant has reopened with a refreshed look, an expanded international spread, and a partnership with heritage popiah maker Roxy.

Kueh, Guan Huo, Zhu Qi at Popian, and also a range of desserts, including creations from Dove Desserts.

So the reopening is part of the Western Singapore's continued focus on wellness with its Eat Well philosophy, guiding both indulgent and healthier dining options.

And to tell us a lot more about this transformation and what guests can expect, we're joined today on Eat Drink Singapore by James Walkden, who is General Manager of the Western Singapore.
