Ritchie's puffs: Really Rich Puffs: Hong Lim Food Centre 3 of 7

With smart, Damien, iwatch_ueat and liverpool


You can tell from the delicate handiwork that these curry puffs are handmade and they are really quite big for $1.20 each.



I would say they are good curry puffs, but I found them a little too rich for my stomach. The crust is crispy but a tad oily and the filling is nice and savoury but they use quite a bit of coconut milk in it so you get jerlak (indigestion) very quickly. If I were 20 years younger and not having to worry about my indigestion and cholesterol problem, this would have been a real yummy treat.

Conclusion

One of the better curry puffs around but a tad too rich for me. 3.75/5

tried the chicken potato curry puff..the fillings were gd..but i thot the pastry was too oily...it left an oil aftertaste on the tongue after every mouth..

Maxwell Market's curry puff was much better i feel..

i think Oishii is no longer at upper cross street in chinatown. anybody know where is it now? prefer theirs. alot of fillings inside. very spicy though..

i think business is really bad for oishii as they fold-over within a few months..

to khim:
i waant my oishii curry puff..! *bawls*

i suppose that place could be unsuitable for their business? hope they make a come-back at a better place. their curry puffs are good & almost bursting with fillings!
