Whether it\u00a0is eaten piping hot or at room temperature, I\u00a0wonder why others raved so much about this Tip Top curry puff.\u00a0The crust is rather dry and the curry is so-so with\u00a0a sourish tinge sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>I like Old Chang Kee&#8217;s the best. :) The buttery flavour of the well-fried crust is so satisfying and the curry filling (got the usual potato and hard-boiled egg chunks)\u00a0is so nonya and sufficiently moist! Polar Puffs and Cakes&#8217; curry puffs used to be my favourite too (the crust\u00a0was the flaky version and its curry\u00a0was so delicious!)\u00a0but its standard has dropped over the years.
