Popiah and Croquette Session

Happy birthday HONgZ!

Suddenly, I felt like cooking today. It has been a long time since I ate homemade popiah. Thus, I decided to DO IT MYSELF to ease the craving.

Cutting the preserved fish



Frying the beancurd



Shredding the carrot and turnips





Frying all the vegetables



Here you end up with the filling



Wrapping the popiah



Adding eggs, crabsticks and grounded almonds



Final product





Japanese Croquette

Boiling the potatoes and mashing up



Mixing the mash potato with fried onions and crabstick



Form them, dipped them in breadcrumbs, and deep fry them. You get this.



The popiah filling is of a reasonable standard. I think I should have added more turnips or even anchovies to enhance the flavour.

The croquette is a bit plain. I should have added more salt and pepper. My attempt to make cheesy croquettes failed. The cheese did not melt as what I have expected. Anyway, nice try.
