Crispy Springrolls


Crispy in the outside and soft in the inside. Once you bite the crispy outer layer of the fried springroll skin, you thought that it will stay like that forever. But once you have reached the fillings inside, the softness of the mixed vegetables simply melt in your mouth. Springrolls or Popiah Goreng can be taken for breakfast or tea time. They normally come in two sizes, small or medium. The smaller they are, the crispier they will be. Best served with a chilli sauce dip. Easy to make and prepare. Fast to eat!
