The best experiences in Singapore's Tanjong Pagar neighbourhood - SilverKris

"A modest, family-operated stall awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2018, making traditional Hainanese-style curry puffs using rempah chilli paste cooked for two hours and thin, crisp layers of dough; loyal to classic fillings like sardine and curry chicken and egg, the stall emphasizes consistency and affordability, selling pieces at an accessible price point." - SilverKris Magazine

Writing this review as I'm having my last bite of curry puff from this stall. I wanted to try the sardine curry puff, but it was already sold out (at 1pm on a Monday). I ended up getting the potato chicken & egg one instead. The puff pastry was very light and airy, and while it tasted buttery, it didn’t feel satisfying. It was a bit too “hollow” and flaky without that richer, more substantial bite you’d expect from a good curry puff. At $2 a piece, it felt a little pricey for what it was. Overall, I’d rate the chicken curry puff a 6/10; not bad, but not something I’d go out of my way for. Stall owners were really friendly though! Giving this spot 5 stars for their service :)

Have been wanting to try this curry puff for a while after hearing so much about it. As a curry-puff lover who has tried many popular ones, this chicken potato puff is now at the top of my list. The pastry is buttery and thin, the filling is generous and flavourful, and the proportions are just right. Hope the quality stays and the legacy lives on—kudos to the young hawkers! Also tried the pineapple tart, and it’s lovely too.

Logan and Jolen are incredibly friendly and accommodating, making the experience even more enjoyable. Rolene is definitely a place to try traditional Hainanese curry puffs — truly Michelin-grade standards. Highly recommended

I was there on Saturday morning wanting to just get 2 curry puffs. Chatted with the couple who own the stall now. Their story of giving up their careers to keep this traditional curry puffs biz for the lady’s dad going touched me. We could have this familiar tasks because of them. Thank you so much for doing this! Jiayou!

We were the first customers of the day and purchased 2 curry puffs which they had just fried. At $2 each, they seemed expensive until we noticed that the filling contained chicken meat, which justified the higher price. I ate mine while it was still hot and found it too hot to fully appreciate. My partner ate hers an hour later when it had cooled down and commented that it tasted good.

Love their curry puffs. Consistently good and they taste even better when eaten hot. Experience the warmth and cheerfulness of young owners who take pains to ensure you are happy with their products esp the curry puffs. Strongly recommend their CNY pineapple tarts as well.

Nice and hot okd school curry puff that's filled to the brim. $2/puff is quite reasonable given the size and stuffing. Mine had a whole strip of chicken breast and a quarter egg. Flavor of the filling is also good and balanced.
