The popiah in Padang Brown is perhaps one of the best popiahs in Penang. I watched as the hoisin sweet sauce and chilli sauce were placed on the popiah skin followed by a piece of lettuce. Then the vege filling was placed on top followed by the crab meat, fried beancurd (minced finely), fried egg, and fried shallots. It was then wrapped. You may request for the sauce from the vegetable filling to be poured on top of the finished popiah, but if you like it dry, you may want to request for the uncle to skip this step. Padang Brown is located at the junction of Perak Road and Anson Road, opposite Convent Dato Kramat School. Besides popiah, this place is also popular for lok-lok, pasembur and sup kambing (available at night). Other hawker stalls are also available such as char koay teow and fried oysters, and they open in the afternoons until late evening at about 6-7pm.
