Chunky Beef Curry Puff - Sha Zah Confectionery

I'm quite a curry puff fanatic and always take the opportunity to try any curry puff. Most of the curry puffs sold in Singapore are either sardine, potato or chicken. You hardly can find any offering mutton or beef curry puff. During a trek from my residence to East Coast Park, I happen to find this confectionery - Sha Zah along Joo Chiat Place offering assortment ranges of pastry from curry puff, samosa to epok epok with beef, chicken and mutton fillings.

I purchased a mutton curry puff ($1.50) and beef curry puff ($1.70) to try it out. The mutton curry puff is quite a letdown as I could hardly find any mutton chunks or bits in it. It is predominantly fill with potato laced with smell of mutton goodness.

However, the beef curry puff surpise me as I could taste the chunks of beef when I biting into it. The beef is presently flavor with the right level of spiciness and sweetness. Sha Zah's curry puff are baked in oven. Therefore, the skin at the end might be wee bit hard and at times oiler than those fried version. For those curry puff fanatics looking for chunky beef curry puff, look no further as Sha Zah definitely can satisfy your cravings.

East Meets West - Pork Satay/Kutupat Vs Hot Chili Chicken Chipolata HotDog

It is very fortunate to live in a heartland whereby you have 5 different supermarkets located pretty close to each other as you will be spoiled for choice with different exclusive offers given. After rummaging through the offers this week I decide to whip up a East Meets West Saturday lunch today with the offer items I gathered on Friday. Hot Chili Chicken Chipolatas HotDog not exactly a True West (LOL) as I don't have hot chili at moment and substitute it with beef keema that I had cooked in excess.

Pork Satay/Kutupat Vs Hot Chili Chicken Chipolatas HotDog

• 1 Gardenia Hotdog Bun (Hotdog Bun free from NTUC with Purchase 1 Loaf of Bread)
• 1 Chicken Chipolata ($4.95 10 Pcs Chicken Chipolatas Promotion from Carrefour)
• 1/2 Cup Mozzarella 
  
• 5 Sticks City Pork Satay ($7.00 Promotion from Sheng Siong)
• 2 Kutupat ($3.20 Promotion from Sheng Siong)
• 1 Beef Keema (substitute for Hot Chili)
  

City Pork Satay are sold in a pack of 20 stick with peanut sauce. Empty the peanut sauce in microwave bowl and heat it under high settings for 11/2 minutes. Heat up the electric grill and coat it with oil for 5 minutes then grill the satay each side for 5 minutes and ready to serve. For cooking the Kutupat, boil a pot of water with salt added add in the kutupat rice pack sure it is fully submerge into the bowling water and boil it for 45 mins or more, turning it at times until it is fully bloated up. You can do it the day before as the kutupat need to cool down adequately so that you can cut it without the rice sticking to the knife.

Heat a frying pan with a drizzle of oil, fried the chipolata until the skin start to turn crisp. Slit the the hotdog bun length wise and insert the chipolatas into the hotdog bun. Drizzle the hot dog bun with Beef Keema and top it with mozzarella cheese. Microwave it under high setting for 1 mins till the cheese melts.
