What sets J2 apart from other curry puff stalls is its signature crispy, multi-layered crust, achieved through a traditional spiral pastry technique that few still use today. The result is a puff that’s light, airy, and incredibly flaky on the outside, yet rich and hearty inside. Each bite gives you the perfect mix of textures—crunchy exterior, soft filling, and a burst of flavor.
J2 also maintains a high standard of hygiene and consistency, which explains its loyal customer base and critical acclaim. It’s not just a quick snack; it’s a showcase of local culinary heritage done right.
