Panko Pocket (Plaza Singapura)

These Pockets are something like a cross between Croquettes and "Japanese Curry Puffs", coated with Bread Crumbs (Panko) and deep-fried to give a crispy and bread-like texture.

Having walked past these pockets each time I visited @plazasingapur, I finally gave in to their visuals and the 3 for $8.70 deal. Sadly I didn't receive them hot, but I ate them right away, and am surprised they still remained really crispy.

Cheese Curry
Pretty much the best out of the 3, the addition of cheese to their strong and flavourful Japanese Curry was really welcome.

Brown Beef Curry
Tbh tastes pretty similar to the Cheese Curry, I mean it's prob similar curry that's used to make this. It's filled with basically what you'd expect from Japanese Curry - Potatoes, Carrots, and the Beef itself. I'd still pick the Cheese Pocket over this though.

Ebi Gratin
Decided to get something different from the rest - since everything was curry-based, and this was cream-based instead. It was a good choice to get something different, else it'd all probably taste almost the same, but felt that it was really mild and doesn't pack as much flavour as the Cheese Curry Bun.

I prob wouldn't head there specially for it, but if I'm nearby and decided I'm craving fried curry bread again then maybe, I may pay another visit, and just for the Cheese Curry.

Overall Rating: 7/10

Apologies for not showing the filling. The shell is still fantastic, while gratin can't go wrong.

The shell is still fantastic, but the filling had a very sharp and disgusting note. It's either the oil or one of the ingredients.

Back here again! $2.90 each if you buy 3 or more. Seasonal special flavours right now are Stewed Hamburg and Cheese Tomato Curry. Regular flavours (Yellow Chicken Curry, Brown Beef Curry, Shrimp Gratin) are still available

According to the staff, the most popular item. These panko pockets are a cross between croquettes and curry puffs. Although its crunch was exceptional, I found it too oily. The filling was okay, although there's really no need to order beef.

Ordered 3 items (beef stew, curry beef, curry cheese) to get each at $2.90 instead of $3.30.

It was just slightly warm when I ate it, which I feel diminished the taste. Overall, $2.90 is pretty expensive for the portion. Do not expect too much filling too.

Liked the beef stew the best! I think the curry ones are a far cry.. However, if you’re a fan of curry puffs, you may really love the curry ones as I found it much better than curry puff in that the flour was crispy and yet rather light.

P.S. they charge $0.40 for a packet of worcestershire sauce :( personally think that the sauce is unnecessary as it tasted just as good without.
