This is one of Singaporean's favourite breakfast. Its simple to eat, crispy, and OILY! Yes its these few deep fried batters that has made breakfast in Singapore so different from the rest!
First off is the salted bun. Round, golden with a swirl of (if i'm not mistaken) salty red bean paste, deep fried goodness! Usually i would tear the bun into smaller bite size pieces to eat. I would say that this is the least oily of the three. One piece cost 60 cents.
Next, we have the butterfly bun! I like this the most. I suppose the name came from its shape, which looks a little like a butterfly, with two wings. This golden deep fried butterfly bun is sweet compared to its deep fried companions. The dough is first sprinkled with sesame seeds and a little sugar is added before deep frying. 
Last of all, one of Singapore's favourite, the You Tiao which translate to "oily strip"(haha) or You Zha Gue. This long golden brown You Tiao, which comes in a pair, is ideal for dipping in coffee, or eaten with soy beancurd. Its porous interior allows it to soak up liquid very effectively and the reason why i like going to this stall in Whampoa Market is because the exterior would remain quite crispy after dipping. You tiao is also used in other dishes like, rojak and congee.The stall specializes only in these three deep fried goodies and business is always good. Open only in the morning, there's usually two men there, one preparing the dough, one frying it. They work fast, take orders fast too, so there's usually no queue. each cost 60 cents.
