Tip Top

Are you looking for the traditional Tip Top curry puff you grew up with? And is confused by this shop frozen curry puff? Not to worry: you should check out AMK Curry Puff instead (which is just around the corner in the old coffee shop where the Tip Top brand started from) If your taste buds are itching to find out what Tip Top Curry Puffs used to taste like in the past before it expanded to include franchise outlets, AMK Curry Puffs ($1.50) are the way to go. Long before old Chang Kee made it big, this was the big name in curry puff in Singapore. A tax evasion story plus a venture with ABR Holdings (which manages Swensen’s) later, it seems the one who started it all lost the brand name Tip Top and have decided to go his own way again - under the name AMK Curry Puff. Tip Top on the other hand, has has undergone massive rebranding and expansion, but their curry puffs have a frozen taste and is a far cry from the original.

Curry puffs are very tasty. The staff is considerably polite. However when I requested to specifically pack the beef filled puffs separately, the staff was a little impatient with my request just because she packed it already. Nevertheless, the request was still carried out, albeit quite unwillingly. Anyway, it's a takeaway stall. What's important is the puffs are really good.
