Mr You Tiao

I was walking around Novena Square when I discovered this little place in the corner and absolutely knew I had to try it.
You can get a youtiao by itself or order sets which include tea or coffee, some type of congee and your youtiao. Oh and there’s FREE curry dipping sauce for your youtiao cause it’s the new prata ya know? (They put it next to the utensils in the seating area)
For about 5 dollars this meal is super worth. My youtiao could have been more warm but honestly everything else tasted fantastic.

Guess I was in the mood for an adventurous snack when I passed by Mr You Tiao at Square 2 after a meeting at an office nearby… because I decided to go for the exotic green tea you tiao.
I thought with all the newspaper articles praising the store — pasted all over the counter front, this can’t be a bad choice. So I ordered one green tea you tiao for take away. Friendly uncle asked if I was going to eat it immediately, I said yes and he told me that it’ll take a few minutes because he’ll warm it up for me. Nice! I love hot, crispy you tiaos! I know the green tea you tiao sounds a little weird on paper (looks a little alien too — imagine long green crispy dough) but it tastes very familiar. Its basically two local flavours that you may have daily — green tea and you tiao — meshed into one delightful piece of dessert snack. It may be an acquired taste but its a pretty genius idea.
Since I enjoyed my green tea you tiao, I reckon I’ll be back to try some of the other interesting flavors — Almond sunflower seed and onion!
Final verdict: Mr You Tiao knows very well what works well with the beloved dough and is not afraid to whip it up and serve it!
