They are wonderful snacks when you are itching for something to munch on. And I like it best when there's lots of potatoes (curry puffs) and sardine (sardine puffs) in the puffs itself. That alone, makes a hungry moment fade to obscurity, at least for some time until I go hungry again.
But I don't really go for Old Chang Kee's curry puff. Sure, there's enough potatoes inside to satisfy my potato cravings, but the puff skin, it's so thick and flaky it's a sin to me. Just give me a puff with a thin layer of skin but with enough potatoes or sardines and I'll stop whining to your face about feeling cheated into paying for pastry than fillings.
Just had curry puffs for breakfast this morning. In fact, my wife made them yesterday night. There's a close equivalent of curry puffs in London known as the 'pasty'. Some varieties come with cheese, lamb and mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I yearn for some of those sold back home.
True, nothing tastes better than home that are from your hometown or country of origin. Maybe Old Chang Kee should set up some overseas branches as there are Singaporeans living overseas too. But still, have a nice day and do come back to my blog again.
