[erection2015]

I don't like the Chinese/Malay-style spicy crispy puff. I like the western-style buttery fluffy puff as those from Han's.

Curry puff is not a western food, you tweet

For me, the old skool malay curry puff is one of the best, tasty and smell is very good.

I know it's not a western food by origin. I'm just saying baking it in the western way. It's also not a Chinese or Malay food by origin; it's Indian.

How about teaching us how to make the curry puffs, from the pastry, to the potatoes, to the curry powder mix..etc rather than directing us to go Giant hypermart to buy?, healthtier too, if have the time?

Curry puff is the local version of the Indian Samosa .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samosa

If you observe some of our food;it actually is a copycat bastardized version of another food.Why copycat?Simply because locals than could not afford the original version nor has the capacity to make them original.

Malays curry puff owes it's origin to Indian Samosa eaten by the British in the evening at tea time or tiffin-time as it was known.The idea is simple,wrap curry vegie or meat around some dough and fry it.

When Chinese got into the act of making curry puff; a lot more ingredients were added.Egg and etc.But lost the plot of making fragrant curried that sizzles with a cup of tea.Obviously evening tea time (not the green tea hor)is not exactly Chinese taste.But British and Indians will die without their cuppa.

Now,the best curry puff Malay style I ever eaten is besides the central wet market in Toa Payoh in a cofeeshop.They specialize only in curry puff at 50 cents each.About 3 to 4 maciks makes them but closes shop by late afternoon.Always sold out.

Didn't know there is a wet market in TP central. Was that the one at Lorong 4, opposite the church?

the malay curry puffs are the original. it's nice but usually quite alot of void air spaces inside puff. it gives a feeling of being short-changed. sometime u get 1 plump puff, then biting into it, u realise it's all mostly air inside :(

SELERA is packed solid full-body puff. i hope the standard is still maintained from the last time i had tried.

Curry puff is also a term for men's hairstyle right? They call it curry pok

 

[johnny333]

If you like the fried curry puffs don't forget the one available at Toa Payoh. They make the curry puffs at their location. It's located in the coffee shop about 30m from the KFC outlet

I try to avoid all curry puffs because of health issues. Even with Polar curry puffs, after I eat the stuff it leaves a bad taste

Oh yes,I do.But you get what you pay for.As simple as that.Even Malays don't make curry puff these days.Almost all curry puffs sold on the street at 3 for $1 are indons.

Now if people are prepared to pay more; I am certain Malay curry puff can beat any hands down.....Besides,to me the how much prawn or sardine goes into the curry puff makes no difference.It's simply taste for me.A curry puff should be reasonably hot,crispy and not soggy and the curry inside must sizzle in my tongue when I gulp the tea.It's a heavenly feeling.For which I am willing to pay the price.I get that in Toa Payoh central.Because it's 50 cents a piece and not 3 for a dollar.

sometime when we took the mrt, somewhere before the escalator u can find indonesian hawker selling their epok-epok. it comes in either sardine or potato.

my god! they are good! at 3 pcs for $1, it's really a giveaway. i would usually buy like $10 for 30 pcs. and yes! it still tastes as good when they are cold as when they are hot or warm. could down at least 6 pcs at one go!

You can find one at the overhead bridge at Parkway Parade beside the HDB block. Not bad at all.
