Written by Updated ago

Curry puffs are good old friends. Easily accessible and never lets you down at any time of the day, regardless of the mushrooming fancy and Instagram-oriented pastries as well as snacks. Comfort is the best word to describe this semi-dome delight. It’s typically curry infused potatoes encapsulated within a deep-fried pastry shell, and thankfully, following the march of time and insatiable appetite, more mouthwatering flavours are constantly introduced. That’s rhythm to ears. A piece of curry puff that keeps you going all day long? Cheese, crab and black pepper beef giving potato a day off? Now this is just a trailer, keep scrolling for the finest offerings in Johor Bahru that changes your viewpoint on curry puffs.

    Cheese grilled chicken, cheese chicken bologna, mutton masala, apple pie, beef black pepper, cheese chicken sausage and chicken curry, it’s not a menu from a fine dining restaurant, and it’s a food truck that has taken curry puffs to a whole new level. Looks like our local puff went for an education abroad. If varieties are what you need, welcome to the curry puff mecca on wheels. Consistently out fresh from the fryer, the plump bombs with thin and crispy casing oozes with wondrous aroma and lip-smacking filling at each mouthful. Truly justifying why locals flock to the truck like moths to a flame.

    Expect a convivial atmosphere and never-ending spread of local delights that are easy on the wallet. Best sellers are usually the fried noodles, naans, and chapatis but a deep-fried curry puff is a must here, either to whet your appetite or to satiate that need for a crispy and doughy nibble. Sweet potatoes imbued with curry are filled to the brim inside the plump snack and its best paired with a glass of lathered tea.
