If you ask me which Singaporean dish I like the most, my answer would be ‘Curry Puff’. It is a Bruneian, Malaysian, Singaporean, and Thai snack and you will find it almost everywhere in Singapore. Looks like Indian Puff or Gujiya, Curry Puff is something completely different. Filled with potato and chicken, these puffs are flaky and crispy from outside and have a special curry taste. They are often deep-fried and sometimes baked.

There are different varieties of Curry Puff available in Singapore. Most common variety is Epok Epok or Teh Teh.  These curry puffs are made in bite size pieces and has eggs in the filling used instead of chicken. You will also find completely vegetarian Curry Puffs which are filled with potatoes, carrots and onions.
