Top 15 Curry Puff Stalls in Singapore to Get Your Curry in a Hurry!

When we think of a fully-stuffed snack with a kick of spice, it’s no surprise our minds would immediately picture curry puffs!

From its humble beginnings of being sold in glass-cabinet bicycles to being sold in trays at large stall fronts, the multicultural dish now exists in different variations (Malay Epok Epok, Chinese Curry Puffs, Indian Karipap, and many more!) and with creative fillings to boot!

We bring to you our ultimate picks of Puff-fect curry puffs!

J2 Famous Crispy Curry Puff

Michelin Bib Gourmand winning J2 Famous Crispy Curry Puff was opened by husband-wife duo Meng Li and Jing Hua in 2007. Business wasn’t always smooth sailing but their efforts paid off as their crispy puffs gained recognition for their generous stuffings and flaky layered crust. Highlights include Crispy Black Pepper Chicken Puff ($1.80), spicy Crispy Curry Chicken Puff ($1.60), firm Crispy Sardine Puff ($1.60), and unique Crispy Yam Paste Puff ($1.60).

Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff

Long queues stretch from Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff even before the stall opens. The stall offers four types of puffs that are all priced at $1.80: Chicken, Potato & Egg, Sardine and Otah. The exterior of the puff is not too flaky, so it’ll definitely prevent you from making a mess! The fillings are fragrant and generous in portion.

Epok Epok Story

Hidden in the basement of Berseh Food Centre, Epok Epok Story is an underrated gem! Run by Hamidah and her family, the stall offers Epok Epok with four different fillings: Kentang, Sardine, Sayur, and Ayam. The epok epok are priced at $2 for 3 pieces. The oval-shaped puff is crisp on the outside, and the fillings are flavourful and moist. The stall also offers other snacks, such as their popular Thai fried bananas.

Lagoon Chicken Curry Puff

Fancy walking along the beach with a piping hot curry puff in hand? Head to Lagoon Chicken Curry Puff at East Coast Lagoon Food Village then! The stall sells only one flavour — Chicken ($1.60). The yellow golden crust was on the buttery side, and the dark curry oozed out with ease.

Yong Kee Curry Puff

Up north, Yong Kee Curry Puff is another family-run stall helmed by Meng Kuang and his wife. The duo has been at Sembawang Hills Food Centre for over a decade. They serve Chicken Curry Puff ($1.40) and Curry Puff ($1.10). Good quality ingredients are used here, and you can expect a creamy curry filling.

Epok Epok Central

Epok Epok Central serves freshly fried epok epok at the shocking price of just $0.50 a piece! Located in Eunos Crescent Market Food Centre, the stall, which first started out as a pushcart over 30 years ago, is one of the first in the food centre. The stall sells three flavours: Kentang (Potato), Sadin (Sardin), and Telur (Egg). The owners fry up a fresh batch at 3pm and there are always people waiting in line for them. While the epok epok is smaller in size, they’re packed full of fillings and bring a satisfying heat.

The Baba Curry Puff Cafe

The Baba Curry Puff Cafe is one of the more underrated stalls I’ve come across. Despite the stall being remotely tucked away behind the main shopping street in Potong Pasir, it receives a constant stream of customers. The stall owners are an elderly couple who have been serving their curry puffs at the current location for the past eight years. The stall offers a wide variety of flavours, but their most popular ones are the Chicken Curry Puff ($1.30) and Sardine Curry Puff ($1.30)!

Wang Wang Crispy Curry Puff

Located at Old Airport Road Food Centre, Wang Wang Crispy Curry Puff was started by a former hotel chef who has been churning out his curry puffs for over 20 years. There are four different puffs available here : Crispy Curry Puff ($1.40), Crispy Sardine Puff ($1.40), Crispy Black Pepper Puff ($1.60), and Crispy Yam Paste Puff ($1.40). The curry puffs were extremely flaky and packed with ingredients. I’ll recommend the Crispy Black Pepper Puff in which the chicken chunks are lusciously coated with an intense peppery sauce.

Isha Curry Puff

Isha Curry Puff sells striking orange curry puffs that are known as Karipap. This Indian Muslim curry puff stands out among the usual brown ones with its bright orange hue. The stall is run by Encik Ismail Salim and his wife Cik Hamidah Ahmad, and has been at Circuit Road since 2017.

The stall offers a wide variety of Karipap flavours such as Sardine, Chicken, Muton, Potato, Satay, and Chilli Padi (Mutton). Interestingly, the stall has split their karipap into sizes, with the mini ones priced at $0.80, and the large ones all priced differently. The Large Potato is $1.50, Chicken and Mutton $2, Chilli Padi (Mutton) $2.30, and Satay is $2.50. The curry puff’s key selling point has to be the puff pastry which is so crispy and doughy. The stall also provides chilli sauce to drizzle over your Karipap for that extra kick.

Soon Soon Huat Crispy Curry Puff

Soon Soon Huat Crispy Curry Puff is a family-owned business that has been serving curry puffs since the 1990s. Mui Lan, the third-generation lady boss, is determined to carry on her grandmother’s legacy. The stall offers five different flavours: Curry Chicken Puff ($1.80), Sardine Puff ($1.30), Custard Puff ($1.30), Otah Puff ($2.20), and the seasonal Durian Puff ($2.50). The stall’s signature Curry Chicken Puff is a must-try! The puff’s skin is super flaky and crispy, and its buttery notes go well with the curry chicken filling.

Er Jie Curry Puff

Sitting in the basement of Golden Mile Tower, Er Jie Curry Puff (娥姐咖喱卟) sells fresh handmade curry puffs that are exceptionally popular with the office crowd in the area. The owner, Er Jie, makes everything from scratch and deep-fries the puffs to perfection. The golden brown Curry Puff ($1.60) is  flaky and buttery, and the crust crumbles easily with each bite. The rempah is fragrant and moderately spicy.

Yang’s Epok Epok

Yang’s Epok Epok is opened by Madam Yang Hassan, who used to sell curry puffs, goreng pisang, and other dishes in the kampong with her siblings. The stall’s epok epok recipe originated from her grandmother. Madam Yang saw how well received the epok epok was and turned it into a business with her sister. While other stalls use food colouring to differentiate the puffs, the stall uses two forms of crimping. The curry potato puff is hand-crimped while the sardine puff is crimped using a fork. The puff’s outer shell is thin and crispy, shattering easily on the first bite to reveal a generous, aromatic filling within.

Fong’s Dee Curry Puff

The owner of Fong’s Dee Curry Puff learnt how to make curry puffs from his mother when he was 10 and still follows the same recipe to make his famous pastries. The Curry Puff ($1.20) is filled generously with curried potatoes, chicken and a slice of egg. Unlike other puffs, this stall’s puff pastry has a crisp yet soft texture that resembles a pie shell.

#MakanBoleh

#MakanBoleh is a family-run business with a loyal following at Seah Im Food Centre. Each epok epok costs $1. The stall has two flavours : the firm Kentang and the flavourful Sardine. Each puff has a thick and buttery skin that holds the bountiful stuffing well without breaking apart.

Rolina Traditional Hainanese Curry Puff

Another Michelin Bib Gourmand winner is Rolina Traditional Hainanese Curry Puff in Tanjong Pagar Food Centre. Bren Tham is the second-generation owner of the stall who took over the reins from his father, the founder, more than 10 years ago. Bren’s father had obtained the curry puff recipe from a Hainanese sailor in the late 1950s. The stall sells two traditional flavours: Curry Chicken & Egg ($1.50) and Sardine ($1.50). What’s unique about Hainanese-style curry puffs is that the skin is usually thinner to direct focus to the fillings. Both puffs were stuffed full with tender ingredients coated in a fiery rempah chilli paste.
