Stay Puff

Started off with mum asking us to check out Damansara Uptown for a new curry puff store she came across in the Star Metro. At that time we weren't too sure what kind of store we were suppose to look out for, nor were we sure of the name and the only clue we had was that it was located at the old Fajar store. It's supposed to be a curry puff store that's found so far only in Takashimaya Singapore or summat. Mum preferred their curry puffs over Old Chang Kee 'cos she got bored of OCK.

Needless to say, we didn't find the store then. Mum, with the Star Metro as her guide, found it on Sunday. We only got to try the Black Pepper Curry Puff then, which wasn't too bad as we heart black pepper.

When we were talking to SuperCel the curry puff store came up - and he did a good job getting us obsessing on the Durian Puff.

SuperCel: have you tried the durian puff?
SuperCel: OMG
SuperCel: it's FANTASTIC

Janvier: haven't tried the durian yet
Janvier: shall hunt for it one day

SuperCel: it's so good
SuperCel: it just melts
SuperCel: MELTS i tell you

Janvier: ok - i'm dying now
Janvier: goodness i'm salivating
Janvier: !slump

SuperCel: it's practically durian flesh wrapped in curry puff skin!
Janvier: *must be strong*

We was totally obsessed over the idea of Durian Puffs by now we tell you.

During the start of this week we passed by and found the store (finally!) only to find that we arrived too late - the store has already closed. So yesterday after our tour about Putrajaya we detoured off to Uptown to finally snag the Durian Puffs.

Gotcha. Opposite Affin Bank, same block as Guardian (so yeah, not at Fajar but near it).

Oh yes. The aroma may remind you of the durian-flavoured ais krim potong but one bite and you literally melt along with it...

We couldn't resist licking the Ginsu knife after slicing this, reckless us.

Surprisingly we didn't find the urge to continue whacking a second one straight after finishing the first. But that's good, considering that one costs RM2.60. So we had it for supper yesterday instead :D

Checklist:
Savoury - Crispy Curry Puff / egg, Crispy Sardine Puff, Crispy Black Pepper Chicken Puff, Crispy Otah Puff, Crispy Crab Chilli Chicken Puff, Crispy Veggie Puff.
Sweet - Crispy Yam Paste Puff, Crispy Sweet Corn Puff, Crispy Durian Puff.

Hmmm. Prolly 'cos it's rather sweet we didn't wolf the entire lot at once. We thinks we'll target the Otah and Crab Chilli Chicken Puffs only.

And wait till they come up with the Crispy Hershey's Puff.
