Geocache Description:


 

This cache commemorates a rivalry that raged for years between two curry puff shops on Selegie and McKenzie roads. To stay within geocaching publication guidelines, we'll not name the stalls here, except to say that one of them has gone on to be a massively successful franchise, and the other still has one, and only one outlet, which you can visit for a snack after you log this find. To old-timers, this OG store is also known as Rex Curry Puff, after the well-known cinema across the road that ceased operations in 2018.

I have fond personal memories of this place. On the last day of every term when I was in primary school, our kindly school bus driver would make a stop here to buy every single one of us a curry puff to munch on on the way home, in retrospect an extremely magnanimous gesture, since he couldn't have been earning that great a wage. He always bought these puffs from the more popular outlet at the time, the one that ultimateiy did not become the widely franchised brand. Perhaps it's nostalgia, perhaps the truth, but to this day I still find those curry puffs to be the tastier of the two.

When searching for the cache, please be considerate towards the nearby residents, and BYOP. Have fun!
