Old Chang Kee - a household name known for its delectable puffs - is no stranger to Singaporeans. Mention curry puff and this company's name would most likely come to mind.
Operating out of a small stall in a coffee shop near the then REX Cinema in 1956, it now has a chain of almost 80 kiosks all over the country and that is not even including the outlets overseas.
Old Chang Kee has certainly come a long way; it was recently inducted into the Influential Brands' Hall of Fame for winning the Influential Brands Award for five consecutive years.
Amongst the reasons contributing to their success, the company have actively been coming up with new flavors to attract customers. Past flavors included the likes of Chicken Satay'O, Cheesy Curry Chicken'O and the Rendang Chicken'O just to name a few.
Old Chang Kee's plump puffs always excite me.
Their pastry is buttery and crisp while the inside is bursting with ingredients. As I break the puff into two, my nose picked up the delicate scent of the coffee.
Instead of the usual curried potato filling, expect to find juicy, tender chicken and mushroom cubes marinated with coffee wrapped within the traditional Old Chang Kee puff crust.
An acquired taste is probably needed to appreciate this puff. Although the flavor needs a little getting use to but it might just grow on you if you give it a try.
The Chicken Kopi'O is priced at $1.80 each or 2 for $3.
