It's better to tell me you're out of chicken rather than served 3 small patellas. Always put yourself in customer's shoes

1A Crispy Puffs - Takashimaya Shopping Centre
Location: Orchard Road
1A Crispy Puffs has evolved from humble weekend stall beginnings in Eunos Crescent to become a beloved name in Singapore's snacking scene. The Takashimaya outlet, located at #B207-3-3 in the B2 Food Hall, brings halal-certified curry puffs to the heart of Orchard Road's shopping district.
The brand's signature achievement lies in its perfectly executed crust, achieving that delicate balance between flakiness and crispiness that curry puff enthusiasts crave. Seven distinct fillings cater to diverse palates, ranging from traditional curry chicken to adventurous options like creamy durian and yam (orh nee). The spicy black pepper chicken variant appeals to those seeking extra heat, while the fried banana option satisfies sweet-toothed customers.
Each puff is freshly fried throughout the day, ensuring customers receive products at peak quality with generous fillings encased in golden, crispy pastry. The affordable pricing, with individual puffs retailing under $2 each, makes these treats accessible for quick snacks during shopping excursions or takeaway purchases for sharing at home.
Operating from the bustling Takashimaya Food Hall, 1A Crispy Puffs benefits from high foot traffic and excellent visibility. The halal certification broadens its appeal across Singapore's multicultural population. With additional outlets at Great World City, AMK Hub, Bedok Central, and Clementi, the brand has successfully expanded while maintaining the quality that first attracted fans to that original weekend stall.

After not eating 1A in years, had one on a whim and it did not disappoint. The curry puff pastry is still so rich and flaky, and the filling is generous. Very satisfying snack. Old Chang Kee may be more famous but taste and value wise, don’t see them topping this.

I've always been a big fan of Old Chang Kee Curry Puffs. In fact, for decades, I never had a doubt that their luscious, savoury, buttery crust was quite simply impossible to dethrone. Then I discovered 1A's by sheer chance and bravado. Ladies and gents, this Chicken curry Puff is downright wicked! All the components are stellar, from the crumbly, tender pastry crust to the chicken curry filling that's quite the umami bomb. Nothing simple here, it's poetry in food engineering! I personally dread putting anything mediocre in my pie hole... anything entering that realm better be amazingly good. So when I wax lyrical to this extent, it's next level and I have to admit, these guys are making history. Granted, that brand name isn't sexy or cool and does not inspire confidence but it's hands down, in my book, the absolute best Curry Puff in the universe. I've sampled the whole shebang of snacks here, from the goreng Pisang (respectable choice if you need fruit) to the fishballs (forgettable). My gob only wants one thing now.... That heavenly Puff. Hey, there you go, a new brand name for them. You're welcome :)

Bought a curry chicken puff for $2. The puff was served hot, so it is very delicious when eaten. The puff skin was very flaky and crispy, making it one of the best curry puff pastry in Singapore. The fillings are a little small for the price unfortunately. There are other interesting and creative flavours (durian, yam, otah, chilli crab) as well.

Got my usual curry chicken with rice set for $6 again and got to say I’m very impressed over the fact that the taste and standard of the food always remain the same each time I eat! The curry is very delicious and thick and the portion is filling too! The curry chicken and rice are always served piping hot as well.

One of the best place in Singapore for flakey puffs We had the fried banana ($1.50), curry chicken puff ($1.90) and durian puff ($1.90) - pricing is reasonable for the amount of filling in each puff. The highlight of each puff would most definitely be the crispy and flakey skin! Our go to place when we are visiting Singapore Takashimaya for a quick and delicious snack
