Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Farrer You Tiao stands out for its handmade dough fritters, a rarity in today's hawker scene.

We note consistent praise for the quality of their frying oil, with specific mentions of coconut oil being used, which contributes to a clean taste without the 'old oil' flavour often found elsewhere.

The stall, run by an elderly couple, has even been featured in the Michelin Guide, highlighting its reputation for traditional snacks.

The Butterfly Fritters (蝴蝶煎) are frequently cited as a must-try, described as crunchy on the outside, chewy in the middle, and perfectly sweet, with a good balance of sesame.

The You Tiao and Ham Chim Peng also receive high marks.

A significant draw is the price point: all items are just $1 each, making them an affordable treat.

We'd recommend aiming to purchase these snacks when they are freshly fried to experience them at their best, as the texture and warmth are key to their appeal.

The main operational consideration is that the stall only accepts cash, so be prepared.

What customers say

Farrer You Tiao is highly praised for its handmade, fresh dough fritters, particularly the You Tiao, butterfly fritters, and ham chim peng, all priced affordably at S$1 each.

Customers consistently highlight the use of high-quality coconut oil, resulting in non-oily products without an 'old oil' taste.

While the fritters are celebrated for being crunchy outside and chewy/fluffy inside, some note they are best enjoyed hot and freshly fried.

The friendly elderly couple running the stall also contributes to the positive experience, though cash-only payment is a minor inconvenience for some.

The You Tiao at this uncle shop is very good. He uses high quality cooking oil! It’s coconut oil not those seeds oil. You tiao tastes great and good every bite!

★★★★★Travel With Jack Chee· a year ago

Did you know this stall is featured in a Michelin Guide article as one of the best places to get your dough fritters in Singapore? Handmade dough fritter is a rare find in hawker centres these days.…

★★★★★Mae _· 8 months ago

One of the rare few places where the you tiao and butterfly is handmade. Each piece is just SGD 1! Unbeatable price for the fluffy heartwarming “pastry”.

★★★★Stam· 8 months ago

Hand made at stall and not factory. My second fav You Tiao in SG. Fluffy and light. Do remember to ask for newly fried piece and eat it hot. Obviously not nice when cold.

★★★★★Sandra C· a year ago

The best place in Singapore for fried dough - butterfly, you tiao and hum ji peng all for $1 each! The butterfly is a must try - it has a crunchy and tasty exterior with the right balance of the taste…
