Chinese You Tiao (Deep Fried Dough) aka. Deep Fried Devil

"You Tiao" is a complementary Chinese traditional breakfast menu. It is made from deep frying the dough which is about 12 inches in length slit in the middle to create a central crevice. Cantonese people call them "Deep Fried Devil" or "Yao Za Guai" as the name was derived from an ancient chinese folklore.

In Asia, you can find this "You Tiao" from street markets and restaurants selling Dim Sum. People usually enjoy them with congee served with a variety of spices, nuts and meat as they dip the edge into the watery based congee to dampen before each mouthful. Others may enjoy them spread with Kaya or Peanut butter.

After all, one can never resist a freshly made "you tiao" because of their tempting smell of starch deep fried with fragrant oil that makes them tasty, succulent and serves each bite worth savoring. The tip is to go for the longest queue, if you wouldn't mind.
