Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff (Hong Lim Market)

Chicken Curry Puff with Potatoes and Egg

Personally it didn’t survive the trip well.

Sibei complicated, but basically this is not the original, but occupies the original stall. I bought it because I've tried the original and because there's no waiting time. This is the sardine puff, although I ordered chicken. It's nice lah, I don't think most people can tell the difference. Large and crumbly shell.

This is HUGE, larger than the size of my palm! True to its name, the exterior is crispy and pretty thin, considering the amount of filling inside.

The puff was warm when served, and the crust is so fragrant and buttery without feeling too greasy. The consistency of the filling was perfect as well, more like a curry paste with potato instead of potato chunks. I would have preferred the curry to be spicier with a larger slice of egg. Not sure if it’s just the piece I took, but there was only a small piece of chicken inside :(

Would have to say that they take pride in ensuring that the puffs are in perfect condition before serving. The lady serving me was shifting one piece away from the rest and when asked, she replied me that it’s not good enough to serve. That curry puff had one area of the skin that was slightly more brown (not even charred). I honestly wouldn’t have minded but kudos to them for their high standards!

Frankly this is not the best curry puff I’ve had, but it’s definitely one of the better one, do give it a try!

@parkregissingapore brought us on a heritage food trail (happens every sat and avail to all guests) and our stop at Hong Lim Food Centre brought back the simple good old days with a regular kaya toast and some crispy curry puffs from Tanglin. It’s like the epok epok style and the thin crust encases fillings like curry chicken with potato, sardine potato and also otah. They’ve been selling their crispy puffs since 1950s! #sginsiders

Had their Otah Puff ($1.80) for a mid afternoon snack. It was very good! The skin was crispy and filling was generous.
