The Geylang Serai area is also a great place if you're looking for some Indian-style Karipap. Karipaps is an alternative and localized name for curry puffs but with a twist. Not like the empanadas, these Indian-styled Karipaps are crunchy and flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. The meat, potatoes, and spices in the Karipap are infused beautifully inside making for a delicious bite while still being light. So much flavor in a small package!
