Rolina Traditional Hainanese Curry Puffs

With third-generation owner Jolene Tham at the helm, the 60-year legacy of the famed Rolina Traditional Hainanese Curry Puff name lives on. From operating out of a pushcart by Novena Church to finding permanence in the Tanjong Pagar Plaza Market and Food Centre, this humble curry puff stall is best known for its ultra-crunchy crust. “The filling really packs a punch too,” adds chef Willin Low. While the Singaporean chef confesses that he hasn’t been back since the takeover last August, he thinks that if the puffs are anything like the ones before—made by second-generation owner Bren Tham—Rolina’s puffs will still be as good.
