- Curry puffs are a popular Southeast Asian snack with a mysterious origin, believed to have been influenced by Portuguese empanadas during the colonial era. They typically contain ingredients like potatoes, curry powder, and chicken or beef, all wrapped in pastry dough and fried to a golden brown. This creates a unique crunchy texture, complemented by the savory aroma of curry. At Kuala Lumpur International Airport, many travelers pick these up to satisfy their hunger, but beware of the body blow that can lead to a heavy stomach. As the author suggests, be careful not to overindulge and get knocked out like them... In fact, one might even be curious about how the author managed to return home afterward. Perhaps they took a nap at a café in the airport. Next time, make sure to manage your condition well, gourmet warrior!
