Popo’s story
Popo first learned how to make hae bee hiam by watching her neighbour prepare it when she was young. Over time, she made the recipe her own — and she has been making it for our family for over 40 years.
Today, we’re happy to share a little taste of our home with yours, and we hope it brings as much joy to your table as it has to ours.
“No fancy ingredients or secret shortcuts — just time, patience, and lots of love.”
— from Popo’s label, on every jar
Good questions

Because we add no preservatives, refrigerate your jar as soon as it arrives and enjoy it within 1 month of the production date. Always use a clean, dry spoon and keep the lid tightly closed.

Anything that needs a wake-up call: fried rice, plain porridge, noodles, pasta, eggs, toast, sandwiches, or stir-fried vegetables like long beans and lady’s fingers.
Yes — it contains crustaceans (shrimp). It is made in a home kitchen that may also handle soy, nuts and other allergens.
