We happened to pass this and I thought to eat another samosa haha.

Chanced upon House of Samosas that is located in a stand-alone shop unit at MacPherson Road β€” House of Samosas had operated from this location with a dine-in element ever since September 2021. Decked with dark blue walls with marble-esque counters and wooden furniture and fittings, House of Samosas does look like a cosy spot that is somewhat fit for a cafe. Given how House of Samosas is pretty much big on samosas, the only items available here would be samosas; the samosas are separated into various categories here, including Savoury Samosas, Meat-free Samosas and Sweet Samosas β€” think more traditional ones such as Curried Chicken / Mutton Samosa, as well as a Butter Chicken Samosa. Then there are also the more inventive flavours here with various fusion elements involved; think the Grilled Cheese Samosa, Pasta Samosa, Coconut Cream Samosa and the Stone-fruit Samosa. Patrons can also opt for various dips to go along with their Samosa β€” this includes again more conventional flavours such as that of the Mint Dip, to more inventive ones such as the Marinara Dip, Satay Dip and Vanilla Custard Dip; beverages available at House of Samosas include Masala Chai and Chai, various other types of tea, coffee, lemon soba, lemon sharbat and a Summer Fruit Punch.

Given the wide variety of samosas available at House of Samosas, we decided to go for five (5) different flavours to give both their traditional and modern interpretations of the samosa a go. All the flavours we ordered (we had the Chow Mein, Butter Chicken, Mattar Paneer, French Silk and Durian Samosas) were really outstanding and impressive, but if there was one that stood out slightly more than the rest would likely be the Chow Mein Samosa β€” this is in part due to how it was being executed. The Chow Mein Samosa is listed on the menu as one of the few Meat-Free Samosas that they have to offer β€” described as β€œegg noodles tossed to perfection with fresh capsicums, carrots, sweet peas, spring onion & Chinese seasonings”; all that being encased in a crispy , golden brown pastry shell. Taking a bite into the samosa, one can feel how crisp the samosa shell is; whilst we had expected somewhat of a flaky pastry, we were actually surprised how this one gave a clean bite β€” it’s sufficiently light and airy and felt more cracker-like, yet being not particularly greasy as well. The Chow Mein Samosa is being filled with wok-fried egg noodles tossed with the condiments as described in the menu; the Chow Mein again not being greasy nor too wet or too dry β€” the consistency and flavour being almost what one would expect out of a good rendition of Chow Mein that is often found at buffet / catering tables. All in all, a very interesting rendition of the Samosa that is filled with carbs rather than proteins β€” one that is well-executed considering the elements involved here.

Having tried a good mix of their savoury samosa, meat-free samosas and the sweet samosas, we must say that we left House of Samosas very impressed β€” one thing they seem to do very well is the samosa shell; all of the samosas carried the same samosa shell which also showcases how versatile their recipe is to be adopted across both savoury and sweet variants of samosa. Another point that is worth commending would be how creative the folks behind House of Samosas are with the samosas that they serve up β€” while samosas are an easy find for the most part, not a lot have gone as far as how House of Samosas had done when it comes to playing around with flavours that work; one can only imagine the effort and passion that they had put in to perfect their craft. Not only would the filling need to be able to withstand being fried with the samosa shell encasing it without any substantial change in texture that would impact the whole dish, one could also tell how they have also went through great lengths to ensure that the recipes for the fillings are nailed to bring the very best to their patrons β€” and the end result does show. All-in-all, House of Samosas does feel like that under-the-radar establishment run by some really earnest folks who wants to serve their very best to their patrons; they were also pretty active in engaging with their patrons with small talk and to also gather feedback on the food. We do wish the folks behind House of Samosas all the best in what is to come for them β€” we would most definitely be returning another time to give the other quirky flavours that we have yet to try a go!

Not too 'spicy' and sweet. My cup of tea πŸ«–

Had to dabao this home and it stayed crispy. Quite shiok

A shop dedicated to samosas only. Bite into the crust and you'll understand why. It's thicker than normal samosas and therefore more fragrant. In terms of filling, I found mutton better than chicken.
