Hidden at the alley just right behind the Honda Showroom at Jalan Imbi sits a hawker stall that has a sign that says See Kee Curry Puff. The stall is pretty old, and the operator even older. In fact, it’s been over 30 years since the old uncle first sells his curry puff at this area (source.)
see kee curry puffs has been around for more than 30 years
And this was the first time I tried one. After having Ipoh Hor Fun for lunch at Pau Kee just a stone’s throw away, my colleague suggested and bought us some. There’s two types of curry puffs available here, between chicken & mutton, the option was easy. I’ve never tried mutton curry puff.
the mutton curry puff is excellent!
The mutton curry puff (RM 1.50) has chunks of mutton nested in potato & curry gravy encased in the golden crispy pastry shell, it was different yet familiar, and made me wonder why isn’t there more places that sells this? A bit more savory and slightly stronger tasting, I love it. The chicken version is said to be top notch too.
Give me this mutton curry puff anytime over Ikea’s version, thank you very much.

Sifu, maybe you should make the curry puff and show us how it’s made. Does this mean you haven’t tried sardine curry puff yet? One thing I find with curry puff these days is the pastry is flaky, not the chewy type.
Kash: yaaa ppl prefer flaky type more these days it seems. and nayyy I have zero experience in making curry puff. haha
mutton curry?!! that’s new. Why don’t someone make foie gras puffs?!!
eiling: haha that’ll cost the price of a chicken
Yup, mutton curry sounds good indeed, especially in a curry puff. Love the look of the quaint stall. 🙂
Huai Bin: haha ya very old stall
A very well hidden gem. We sometimes pop by after Pau Kee to buy the mutton puffs for FIL. Yes the chicken puff is really yummeh.
missyblurkit: your FIL knows his stuff!
ooo, i’m usually NOT a fan of mutton at all, but i’d wanna try this! 😀
Sean: haha do it! don’t just keep drinking wine and having foie gras!
Think I tried a beef curry puff somewhere sometime ago. But mutton curry puff is the first time. And sounds delicious enough to warrant a try.
J2Kfm: it is really delicious!
It opens till late evening?
Cindy tong: that I’m not sure.
erm okay…then hv to try my luck tomorow..
Hi, Wow and its been 30 years since I last had a taste of their curry puff. Really very good. I used to eat it almost everyday. Now in another part of town. Too bad.
Aunty Ling: haha ya it’s been around for a long time

Every time I go there I will get at least a dozen mutton curry puffs…three eaten in the car on the way home and the balance eaten before the day is over! Anybody can beat that?

last december I went there, he is not selling there anymore. there was a notice on the stall that he was moved to other place.
adf: thanks, I’ll have to check it out soon then.
Oh dear, am I ten years too late to find this post? I used to buy his mutton curry puff when I was in my 20s, any update where he has moved to? Or still operating? Should be in his 80s now 🙁
Karen: ahh, it’s gone I believe several years ago.
