The chicken curry puffs at Pure Thai Shophouse remind me of the curry puffs I grew up eating in Taiwan, though these are slightly more complex with turmeric, caramelized chicken, onions, parsnips, curry powder and not one but two types of potatoes — regular Idaho and sweet potatoes, which add a hint of sweetness. The stuffing is smooth and creamy in texture, and the puff pastry dough is thin and flaky. The accompanying cucumber relish with red chilies possesses both sweetness and acidity, which cuts through the stronger curry flavor. What a great way to start off a meal at Pure Thai Shophouse.
