Singapore｜J2 Famous Crispy Curry Puff

I crave for these puffs everyday. They are freshly made on the spot so it’s very soft and crispy. The folks running it seems to be a family. Try their sardine puffs and the sweet yam puffs. Highly recommended.

The lady serving me was v friendly. I got 4 curry puffs and 1 sardine puff (5pcs you get a box) for SGD9. They were SGD1.80 each and still piping hot when I bought them. The sardine was v creamy and not fishy. It also packed a punch, super yummy! The curry puff one was creamy too 🥹 Think flavourful and thick curried potatoes w bits of chicken inside. It is on the moist side which I like. Eating this is a messy affair though, because of its flaky crust(s) but the fillings are good. Would totally repurchase.

I arrived at Amoy Food Centre just before noon on a busy Wednesday. And though there were queues aplenty in other stalls, J2 was completely devoid of customers! Well I seized the moment and wasted no time and bought a classic potato chicken curry puff ($1.80), and a black pepper chicken curry puff ($2). WOW! I mean a chicken puff is a chicken puff right? Wrong! THIS IS a chicken puff, or at least the yardstick in which all other chicken puffs ought to be measured. The pastry was sooo000o flaky and lovely,but with just enough tautness to hold the filling together. And the filling of the classic curry puff, though more potato than chicken, was full of flavour and depth of the spices. The black one was surprisingly gravy-y, I had no idea how it didn’t leak out of its perfectly flaky pastry shell. It’s full of black pepperiness, but without being acrid or bitter, and leaves a lovely warm aftertaste. I can see why J2 has earned a bib gourmand. WORTHY!
