Ikea Curry Puffs

The long queue on a Sunday at around 4.30pm at Ikea external food counter. I waited in queue for 5 minutes to buy the curry puffs.

Apart from curry puffs, there were other deep fried food sold too such as deep fried salmon balls. Despite the long queue, there were enough curry puffs at the counter because they were being replenished at a fast rate. 

Comparison between one Ikea curry puff (left) and one Old Chang Kee curry puff (right). Their shapes are different. One old Chang Kee curry puff is around 100g. One Ikea curry puff is around 75 to 80g. 

I broke them into half. I remember Ikea curry puffs as having only potatoes in them when I ate them a long time ago but now like Old Chang Kee (OCK), they have chicken meat and a slice of hard boiled egg as the fillings in addition to the potatoes.

Taste wise, Ikea curry puffs fillings are sweeter, less curry taste and not as salty as OCK's, the size of the piece of chicken meat and hardboiled egg in it is smaller too. OCK's curry puffs' fillings have a stronger curry taste and I can taste a stronger oil taste in its pastry.

Price: OCK = MYR2.40 nett for one. Ikea curry puffs are sold at MYR1 nett each but if you buy 6, the price is MYR5.50 nett so of course everyone would buy 6 as it comes down to MYR0.92 each.

Based on price alone, Ikea curry puffs would win hands down considering that the taste is quite nice too although the curry taste is less and there are less fillings but the good points are it is less salty and the oil taste is not that strong.
