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

Their puffs are great! Favorites are durian, otah and regular curry puff. Flakey and buttery. My only issue is that sometimes the construction may not be as solid and some puffs fall apart. But doesn’t affect the taste! Not overly spicy either. And everything is under $2.

It's a food stand inside the food hall at the basement of Takashimaya Shopping Centre. If you're looking for a snack, or something to bring to a party, they have many variations of crispy puffs here. Definitely, they're famous for their curry chicken puff, but I also like their yam puff. Their otah puff, chilli crab puff, are interesting. Not the cheapest, not very expensive, but definitely reasonably priced.

My favourites are the otah and chilli crab puff. Nice and flaky and remains crispy even after a period of time. Another family member swears by their sardine puff. I love they have many flavours catering to a wide variety of tastes.

This crispy puffs stall location is very convenient as it is across the Takashimaya food court. I bought chicken curry puff, chili crab puff, and durian puff. The pastry part was super flaky and crispy. The chicken curry puff was good and flavorful but it only contained little piece of chicken meat. The chili crab puff was not spicy at all despite the 'chili' on its description. The flavor was good but again, only little crab meat inside the filling. The durian puff was good too. I think that they mixed the fresh durian with custard as the durian flavor was weak. Overall, they were good crispy puff and are affordable delicious snacks.

Nice little stall inside the food area of Takashimaya Shopping Centre. Courteous, efficient service. Delicious curry puffs at a reasonable price. I had to resist getting more.
