Fong's Dee Curry Puff at Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre sells a plethora of Chinese snacks but only those in the know knows that the star product here is actually their delectable curry puff.
From the mixing of flour, kneading, wrapping, crimping to deep frying, they are all individually handmade on site hence no two puffs looked the same.
Due to the small scale of production, only one curry puff flavor could be found here which is the chicken curry.
From a young age, the owner began helping out and learning the ropes at his parents' stall before venturing into this trade himself. He has been selling curry puffs which are based on his father's recipe for the last forty years.
Although deep fried, the thin pastry skin does not feel too greasy to me. The inside is generously filled with ingredients such as curried potato, chicken meat and a quarter slice of a hardboiled egg. With every inch of space filled, there is definitely no pocket of air inside which makes it a very substantial curry puff.
While the spiciness of the curried potato is on point without being overly spicy or mild, I find the texture leans more on the mushy side. If only they mixed in some firmer potato cubes for a contrasting texture.
For context, I do not eat the crust from the famous chain as it is too floury and thick for my liking but Fong's Dee's version is acceptable for me.
