Each puff was densely packed with a filling of neatly cubed potatoes that held their shape but disintegrate into powdery goodness upon bite. Using a special Indonesian recipe, the rempah (spice paste) was fragrant and the flavors were well-rounded, albeit on the sweet side. There's a quartered egg and chicken pieces in the filling. Of all puffs in this roundup, this offered the best value for money.
