Karipap Pusing, a treat we've been perfecting since the lockdown back in 2020, and a firm favourite with so many of our customers. I’ve always been a huge fan myself. When I first visited Malaysia, I’d have one almost every other day, alongside a bowl of cendol, of course.
Our first attempts at making it? Honestly, they were terrible. The dough was tough, chewy, and far from the light, flaky pastry we wanted. But after countless batches of flour, butter, potatoes, and spices, we finally turned a corner and made some progress with the signature layered, flaky crust. Still, it wasn’t quite right, either it wasn’t flaky enough, or it didn’t look the part.
In Malaysia, Karipap Pusing is a staple, so we knew we had to get it just right. Mel and I spent countless days (and plenty of late nights) in the kitchen—testing butter, flour, and water ratios, refining our rolling technique, adjusting oil temperatures, and tweaking cooking times like a couple of mad scientists. We weren’t curing COVID, but we were on a mission to perfect this pastry.
As we work towards opening our restaurant, where we’ll be serving these delicate, flaky pastries all year round, you can still find them at our markets and events.
And for those of you asking, yes, we do offer catering for Karipap Pusing! Feel free to drop us a DM or email if you’re interested. Cheers!
