Cecil Market Yu Tiao

Before leaving Cecil Market after breakfast, we walked past the fried fritters stall and were immediately drawn in by the irresistible aroma lingering in the air. Unable to resist, we picked up a Ham Chim Peng and a Huah Chee for a quick bite, planning to enjoy them along the way to our next stop.

The texture was delightful,  slightly crisp on the outside with a soft and fluffy interior. The fragrance was inviting, and the roasted sesame seeds on top added an extra layer of aroma and nuttiness, making each bite simple yet satisfying.

The Huah Chee, also known as the “butterfly”, was enjoyable with its lightly crisp exterior and soft, fluffy centre. It carried a gentle sweetness and fragrance, making it a comforting and satisfying traditional snack.

Overall, the Ham Chim Peng and Huah Chee made for a delightful little snack to end our visit to Cecil Market. Freshly fried and aromatic, they carried a comforting old-school charm that is becoming harder to find these days. Simple as they may be, these traditional fritters reminded me how something so humble can still be deeply satisfying, especially when enjoyed fresh and on the go.
