The trick does apply to curry as well since these versatile bags are not limited to storing drinks.

Spoiler alert — the trick’s not pulling the longest portion of the string.

Step 1: Find the portion of string tucked into knot

This is apparently the magic portion of string that is the key to solving the problem.

It should be located right above the coil of nylon that makes the knot look so daunting.

Step 2: Pinch the bag’s opening, below the knot

This is to ensure that piping hot beverage doesn’t burst out when the bag is opened.

Step 3: Pull the string upwards

Average Singaporean recommended that one pulls the string upwards instead of sideways to allow it to slip out easily.
