It has been 2 years since I last visited Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff at Maxwell Food Centre. I still remember how this stall caught my attention back then in 2011- the man making curry puff at his stall. The chance to enjoy and support another freshly made curry puff stall instead of factory made was too good an opportunity to forgo.

Comparing the appearance of the stall over the 2 years, nothing much has changed. The stall appearance is still the same, even the man making the curry puff is wearing the same clothes and he still looks the same! Well, almost everything was the same. The only difference was that there was an increase in price in the curry puffs by 20 cents each.

The man hard at work preparing the ingredients for the chicken curry puff.
Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff sells three types of curry puffs; namely, Chicken Curry Puffs, Sardine Curry Puffs and Fish Otah Curry Puffs. The freshly prepared and cooked curry puffs are are still pipping hot are displayed at the stall front. Looks inviting?
The Chicken Curry Puff and Sardine Curry Puff cost $1.40 each while the Fish Otah Curry Puff cost $1.60 each. Previously, the curry puffs used to cost $1.20 and $1.40 respectively.
The ingredients mixed together to form the fillings in the curry puff.
In the background, each piece of curry puffs looked so identical as if they were factory made. But in reality, they were hand made - made (shape) to perfection.

The Chicken Curry Puff was warm and plump. The crust thin, crisp and flaky had a slight buttery fragrance. The fillings comprised of moist mashed potatoes with chicken bits mixed with a blend of aromatic curry powder. In addition, a small piece of hard boiled egg in the curry puff. Overall, the Chicken Curry Puff was quite decent.
This time, I also tried the Otah Curry Puff. It was executed differently and was surprisingly good. Instead of moist potatoes, it was filled with generous amount of fresh succulent fish chunks mixed with curry powder. It was a pleasure savouring such a curry puff.
If you are at Maxwell Food Centre or at Tanjong Pagar, this is a snack worth trying. Try it immediately upon purchase as curry puffs taste best when they are freshly cooked.

Is this a famous stall? I've not heard of it. Looks similar to A1. Love the fillings!
ReplyDeletedon't think its very famous. But they have their regular customers.
DeleteBeen a long time since I ate A1. But I do recall, A1's version it's crust is more crispy and flaky.
Creative stuffings into the puffs because never heard of otah as one of it. My take is the sardines.
ReplyDeleteyea, and the best part was that it tasted awesome~!
Deleteimo this is one of the best curry puffs in sg. better than just decent! ive been eating it regularly when i worked around maxwell area. plus the owner is super friendly! defo recommend it.
ReplyDeleteHusband and wife team make these superb curry puffs daily from fresh ingredients. A lot of hard work though a curry puff may look simple to make by hands. The keynote about Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff is they are not so oily in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteMy best take is the Otah curry puffs. You can preorder early for office meetings and the owner usually meet my timings without fail. Thumbs up for good service and their friendliness is highly appreciated!
can pre-order?? did not know that~ Thanks for the tip
