Michelin Bib Gourmand crispy curry puffs at Amoy Street Food Centre
J2 Famous Crispy Curry Puff is a Michelin Bib Gourmand hawker stall at Amoy Street Food Centre, celebrated for its handcrafted curry puffs with shatteringly crisp pastry and flavourful fillings. The stall has been making curry puffs for decades, perfecting the art of creating the ideal pastry shell that encloses a generous amount of spiced filling without leaking or becoming soggy. The classic curry potato filling is the most popular, featuring a well-spiced potato mixture with hints of curry powder and aromatic spices. Other varieties include sardine, chicken, and yam, each encased in the same perfectly flaky pastry. The puffs are deep-fried to order, ensuring they emerge golden and crackling hot, with a pastry that shatters at first bite to reveal the steaming filling within. J2's Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition has cemented its status as one of Singapore's top curry puff destinations, and the stall regularly sees queues during weekday lunchtime as office workers from the CBD seek out this affordable, iconic snack.
