Popia Gula Melaka, also known as Gula Melaka Spring Rolls, is a popular Malaysian snack or dessert. It consists of spring rolls that are filled with a sweet mixture of grated coconut and palm sugar (gula melaka). Gula Melaka is a type of sugar made from the sap of the coconut palm or the sugar palm tree. It has a rich caramel-like flavour and is commonly used in Malaysian and Southeast Asian desserts.
To make Popia Gula Melaka, the grated coconut is cooked with palm sugar until it forms a sticky and sweet filling. The mixture is then wrapped in thin spring roll wrappers and deep-fried until crispy. The result is a delightful combination of crunchy outer layers and a gooey, sweet filling. Sometimes, the spring rolls are served with a drizzle of Gula Melaka syrup on top for extra sweetness.
Popia Gula Melaka is often enjoyed as a snack or dessert during festive occasions and can be found in various street food stalls, night markets, and traditional dessert shops throughout Malaysia. It is loved for its unique blend of textures and flavours, combining the crispy texture of the spring roll wrapper with the sweet and fragrant taste of the palm sugar and coconut.
