About Golden Pillow 933

A beloved Singapore institution since 1991, Golden Pillow 933 has been serving their signature curry-filled buns to locals for over three decades. Located at Kaki Bukit, this homegrown brand has perfected the art of combining comfort food with authentic local flavors.

The Signature Experience: Specialty Buns

What Makes Them Special

The Golden Pillow buns are uniquely designed to be “soft like a pillow” – a fitting name for these fluffy bread loaves that encase rich, aromatic curry. The design keeps the fragrant aroma locked inside until you tear into them, releasing a wave of spiced goodness.

Bun Varieties & Highlights

Golden Pillow Curry Chicken Bun ($19.90) ⭐ The original that started it all. Tender chicken pieces swimming in a flavorful curry sauce, wrapped in pillowy soft bread. This is comfort food at its finest – perfect for sharing or indulging solo.

Golden Pillow Curry Mutton Bun ($23.90) ⭐ For those who prefer a richer, more robust flavor profile, the mutton version delivers. The meat is tender and the curry has that deep, complex flavor that mutton lovers crave.

Golden Pillow Flamin’ Hot Bun ($21.90) ⭐ For spice enthusiasts, this kicks the original up several notches. The heat level is substantial but doesn’t overpower the curry flavor – it’s a well-balanced burn that keeps you coming back for more.

Golden Pillow Beef Rendang Bun ($29.80) A fusion twist that works beautifully. The rendang’s coconut-rich, deeply spiced beef pairs wonderfully with the soft bread, offering a different but equally satisfying experience.

Golden Pillow Abalone Curry Chicken Bun ($42.80) The premium option that adds luxury to tradition. The abalone elevates the classic curry chicken, adding a unique texture and subtle ocean flavor that justifies the price point for special occasions.
