Once Again the Curry Puffs @ Swees Kopi Tiam on Batam Island [Indonesia]

There were a few things I missed having ever since my last trip to Batam, which was before COVID-19 hit the world. One of them would be the curry puffs from Swees Kopi Tiam! 

Thankfully, they survived the pandemic which wasn't that surprising as their customer base appeared to be largely locals, and we didn't encounter many as food deliveries seemed to be a popular option.

Whatever the case, I was happy to indulge in freshly deep fried curry puffs! Pity I am a lot more disciplined with my diet after COVID-19 and unlike in the past; I hesitated purchasing a few boxes to bring home so that I can have one or two for breakfast for the next few weeks. 

No choice but to order just three puffs, one for each flavor (curry chicken, sardines, yam), to be shared, among our company of four persons. I was hoping that the taste had deteriorated so that I would feel less sad about not buying more.

Turned out they were as delicious as I recalled! The pastry skin was as crispy as remember with the signature sweetness that I found to be so endearing to the taste buds. It did appear thicker than I remember but not a huge problem since the taste by itself was so good. 

Fillings were still generous and tasty, and I can feel my stomach growling while looking at the photographs! I am not going to go into the details as you can read more in details from this post here. Another notable change; it's no longer 30,000 rupiah apiece. Prices have shot up to 50,000 rupiah (about 42 Singapore cents).
