Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff
Opening hours: Mon-Sat: 6am-4pm
Price: $1.20
Rating: 3.5/5

Tanglin's curry puff lives up to its name of being crispy. The layered, flaky crust was airy and thin, and crispy when hot. Those who prefer the flaky kind of pastry will like this. The curried potato filling was very substantial, and contained a quartered egg. We thought this had the potential to be a great curry puff, but it had its shortcomings. The nearly faultless crust was a little too greasy. As for the filling, the flavors were well balanced, but relied too much on curry powder instead of other spices for fragrance. Although it's supposed to contain chicken, we could hardly find any of it in the filling.

At $1.00, this is the cheapest puff in the roundup. Its budget price tag means the austere filling has no egg and only a couple of chicken dices. Some people might not take to the finely-cubed, almost mashed up potato filling, but we were strangely addicted to the molten consistency. Biting into the crispy crust with hot, lava-like curried potato spilling out was just irresistible. The crust felt solid, but tasted light and melt-in-the-mouth. The spice paste was aromatic, but would be better if spicier.
