You Tiao

Xi De Li: You Tiao

Xi De Li started selling you tiao in the 1920s. This you tiao is quite crispy with a chewy texture and mild salty flavours. It is a bit on the oily side though.

Ham Chim Peng

Xi De Li: Ham Chim Peng Red Bean

Another traditional fried dough snack is ham chim peng usually available in 2 flavours, salty or sweet. This is the sweet version with red bean paste filling. This ham chim peng has a thick chewy flour base with mildly sweet taste of red bean paste. Tastes quite ordinary though.

Butterfly Bun

Xi De Li: Butterfly Bun

Butterfly bun is yet another traditional fried dough snack. This is a fried bun that is coated with sesame seeds with a very mild sweet taste. It has a chewy texture, probably a bit too chewy for my taste. Also, it is not crispy at all. The sesame seeds coating gives this a very very light crisp that is almost non-existent. Just average.

Goreng Pisang

Xi De Li: Goreng Pisang

The goreng pisang here is quite nice. It has a light and crispy batter coating a soft and sweet banana inside. I like this.

Tapioca Cake Fritter

Xi De Li: Tapioca Cake Fritter

Similarly, this tapioca cake fritter has a light and crispy batter coating a piece of soft and chewy tapioca cake. Has a nice light sweet taste. I like this too.

Curry Puff

This is a vegetarian curry puff that contains just curry potatoes and no meat. The curry puff has a thin crust which unfortunately is soft. Its curry potato filling has a spicy and sweet taste. This is at most average.

Spring Roll

This spring roll has a filling of white radish and carrot shreds with mushroom slices. The filling as a light sweet taste. However its skin is soft and oily. At most it is average.

Fried Carrot Cake

Xi De Li: Fried Carrot Cake

This piece of fried carrot cake has probably been over fried. Its skin is hard and it isn’t crispy at all. It has a mild salty taste. Definitely average.
