Polar’s history dates back to 1926 when it first opened doors on 51 High Street, selling its signature curry puffs as well as ice cream and chilled refreshments. Its second outlet didn’t come to fruition until December 1986, and the rest is – as they say – history. Today, it has over 30 outlets islandwide.
What sets Polar apart from other stalls is its baked curry puff, which is like a crossover between the karipap and the Cornish pasty. Each puff is loaded with savoury meat encased in flaky pastry. Besides the usual curry puff ($2), it also has vegetarian puff ($1.90), otah puff ($2.30), tuna puff ($2.30), and black pepper chicken puff ($2.40).
