Mutiara Karipap is a favorite snack for all races in Penang.
The Malaysian Curry Puff (Karipap) stall is famous for its large Karipap (Malay Style Curry Puffs) with a smooth crust.
Interestingly, you get 13 types of fillings of curried chicken, meat, eggs, crab, and shrimp!
History of Mutiara Karipap
The ‘Mutiara Karipap’ stall started in 2003 and only sold curry puffs with potatoes, chicken, and sardines at Astaka Jalan Kurau in Chai Leng Park, Perai.
They only sold ten curry puffs a day when they first started trading.
In 2008, Mutiara Karipap opened another branch on the island at the request of his customers.
The stall was initially located next to Seng Huat Cafe before moving to its current location, which has ample free parking.
The current location is strategic because it is close to nearby offices and hotels, and many tourists love the crispy hot curry puff.
After the first time, they tried the Karipap; they would return the next day.
Mutiara Karipap Types of Fillings
Now, the stall boasts 14 types of filling, including potatoes, chicken, sardines, eggs, crabs, shrimp, squid, mutton, venison, oblong chicken, and meat.
Before the pandemic, they could sell 800 to 1,000 Karipap daily.
Who would have known that this Karipap stall has become the choice and favorite of the Penangites and foreign tourists?
The taste of the curry puff filling is well-loved by the multi-racial community.
When I visited Izza, we saw Malays, Chinese, and Indians queuing up to buy the tasty treats.
The wide range of delicious fillings results from the customers’ ideas.
Some enjoyed attractive fillings and wanted the couple to make recipes according to their creativity.

Mutiara Karipap Review
The Karipap tastes crispy to suit my taste.
It’s great for teatime treats, and I recommend you order it for gatherings or office snacks.
My favorite curry is the ‘all-in’ curry, in which all 14 types of filling are placed in one curry puff!
You can call ahead and place your pick-up orders to avoid long waits and long queues.
Each curry puff is filled with the filling of your choice and fried for each order.
It’s freshly made to order and fried before your eyes!
Best Curry Puff in Penang
Watch as they roll out the doughy pastry, fill the spicy potato filling, and crimp the edges.
You have the best and most celebrated savory comfort snack – the Malaysian Karipap (curry puff).
A Karipap not only delivers a quick munch on the go, popular picnic nibbles, or a little snack between meals.
The classical Karipap is commonly filled with potatoes and chicken.
Other fancy versions include fillings such as tuna, beef, and seafood.
Everyone loves these delectable bites, especially the new varieties.
The crispy and light pastry is ideal for stuffing the generous filling of curry chicken and potato morsels.
Mutiara Karipap in Penang wins the hearts of locals upon the first bite.
The humble stall and the never-ending queues are a dead giveaway that you should be darting over to buy some for your snacks.
Mutiara Karipap has taken curry puff to a new level with mind-boggling choices such as vegetables, squid, chicken, prawn, crab, lamb, sardine, egg, beef, deer, and even ostrich (?)
Besides scoring top points in variety, the taste of every puff has a crispy outer layer and generous filling.
The best way to eat curry puffs is to make an incision and stuff it in a handful of pickled onions for a sourish tang to cut the oily taste.
Mutiara Karipap’s promotion of “buy 10, free one” is pretty hard to resist.
We encourage you to share your preferred Karipap to ensure their rightful positions on Smartdory.
Thank you!
