Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff Original (东陵酥皮咖喱角正宗老店) sits in one corner on Level 2 of Hong Lim Market & Food Centre. The stall offers handmade, fat curry puffs using recipes perfected since 1952. There are three flavours: potato chicken with egg, potato sardine with egg and fish otah.
All their curry puffs feature the same crispy, layered thin crusts and fully filled with ingredients. Do eat the puffs as soon as possible after purchase or, if eating them after couple of hours, heat them up to enjoy crispy skins and aromatic fillings.
The Potato Chicken with Egg Puff (马铃薯鸡肉) has a filling of potato curry, chicken meat and a slice of hard-boiled egg. It is mildly spicy with nice curry flavours and wonderful as a snack.
The Potato Sardine with Egg Puff (马铃薯沙丁) is similar to the Potato Chicken with Egg Puff except that sardine meat is used instead of chicken meat. The puff uses sardine that is cooked with shallots and carry its characteristic sweetness. It is also mildly spicy and nice.
The Fish Otah Puff (乌达鱼) is stuffed fully with fish otah (or otak-otak) as its filling. It is sweet-spicy, spicier than the other puffs and very good too.
Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff Original’s curry puffs are really nice and great as light snacks even after a meal.
