My Singapore Food Cravings (2): Sardine Curry Puff
I grew up with two kinds of curry puffs - the potato stuffed ones and the sardine ones. I prefer the sardine ones because I find them tastier. I also prefer the kind sold by the Malays or Indians, as opposed to the big fat Old Chang Kee curry puffs that Keropok Man stuffed himself silly with. :P
The Indian or Malay curry puffs have much less filling and crust, but they have a good balance, of both, in my opinion. I got mine from this guy (and sometimes it’s his wife) standing at the entrance of the MRT station near where I lived. I bought the sardine puffs twice from them. Three for S$1. How much cheaper can they get?
See the sardine filling with onions? They look so moist! Of course I ate all three each time, all by myself. Then … oops … the result was that I couldn’t eat much for dinner. But then, who cares? My tastebuds were happy. I can’t find this type of curry puffs in the Bay Area.
Bite This!

Nowadays, curry puffs are getting more expensive and with lesser fillings.

I had puffs before, but I don’t think they were potato or sardine. I don’t actually what were in them.

So tempting right? I know Buona Vista MRT has one person selling it every now and then. But I have never bought from him. (i wonder why not? )
But it smells good…

PP - I prefer puffs with less filling so I won’t feel overpuffed!
DF - Maybe yours is the Westernized kind of puff. Tuna or chicken filling maybe?
Keropokman - I bought mine from Commonwealth MRT station. Maybe the same guy moves from Buona Vista to Commonwealth? Or maybe his wife is stationed at Commonwealth while he sells at Buona Vista.
MW - Greek curry puffs? Hmm… Interesting… I only associate kebabs with greek food so far.
Tiga! Actually it’s just a man standing by a big plastic box full of puffs :)
HJ - Thanks for visiting! Old Chang Kee Puffs have too much filling for my liking. Can only eat one :p

I bought mine from Commonwealth. Keropokman said he saw a curry puff man also, at Buona Vista.

I was looking for healthy puff recipe, but maybe that does not exist :)
I’ve bought from Buona Vista (indian) and Aljunied (malay), both good and fresh. Eh, gonna miss those. They also have at NUS, 30c per piece. Right after you cross the boarder to JB, they are 1RM instead of 1$, but not that good. Maybe it’s worth a trip further to east coast :)
