Established in 1955 by couple Mr Xu Jun Jie and Madam Tan Kim Keow, a family dispute in 2002 saw their business pass down to the 2nd child, William Koh, while his 3 siblings went on to create their own brands.
.
Now run by the 3rd generation, they're most known for luscious soy beancurd pudding / tau huay, but they also have a small range of freshly fried snack fritters.
.
The butterfly bun is crispy and light, with nutty sweet savoury flavour.
.
The dough fritter / you tiao is best eaten when hot and crisp, its bready savoury flavour pairing well with the soy beancurd pudding / tau huay.

Founded in the 1940s and among the more affordable brands retailing dessert fritters, they're mostly known for being a halal business-to-business supplier.
.
However, 4th generation owner Audrey Chew still has help maintaining a hawker stall, showcasing their product range.
.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, they pivoted to the online and offline consumer market, selling directly to the customer - ensuring business continuity with a multi-channel digital approach.
.
Today, their dough is still freshly made from scratch, and formulated to be kept for up to 9 months, allowing one to enjoy these in the comfort of home.
.
Their ham chim peng has a light fluffy chew, with the 5-spice version having salty savoury spice notes, and the red bean paste version carrying earthy sweet nutty flavour.
.
The butterfly bun is chunky and soft, with a light crispy bite to texture, and lovely nutty sweet bready flavour.
.
The dough fritter / you tiao has a softer chew than elsewhere, with nice bready savoury flavour.

A pioneer brand founded in the 1920s, the fourth-generation owners Adrian Koh, Valerie Koh, and Pathom Koh, set the baseline for accessibility of halal-certified dessert fritters, selling over 10,000 items daily across their 60+ stalls throughout Singapore.
.
They still maintain the traditional hand-pulled dough, and their batter is thin and crisp, shattering and flaking easily.
.
Their 3-in-1 sweet potato, yam / taro, gula melaka / palm sugar infused glutinous rice, has a sticky soft moist texture, with pleasant vegetal earthy grainy sweet savoury floral flavour.
.
The pandan / screwpine leaf infused tapioca is dense but bouncy, with a nice floral earthy starchy sweet flavour. Seems to have a bit more fiberous chew than elsewhere.
.
Their ham chim peng are light, airy, and soft, the red bean paste version holding earthy nutty sweet flavour, the 5-spice version having salty savoury spice notes, both with fragrant bready aroma.
.
The fried banana / goreng pisang is medium thick and ripe, creamy soft with a bright fruity sweet flavour.
.
Their dad invented the iconic butterfly bun as a token of love for their mom, who wanted something sweet and crisp - they still use the original recipe.
.
Their dough fritter / you tiao is hand-pulled, with a crispy texture and bready savoury flavour, best eaten when hot. Quality differs at times though, from stall to stall.

Chef-Owner Mary Teo has been perfecting her fritters for more than a decade (even before March 2011), selling hundreds of pieces daily.
.
The batter is a house signature, thin, crispy, non-greasy, yet sufficiently strong without being fragile.
.
Their fritters come in hand-made odd shapes; the tender sweet potato carries mild vegetal sweet starchy savoury flavour, while the soft yam / taro has vegetal earthy savoury notes.
.
The pandan / screwpine leaf infused tapioca has a grainy soft feel, with mild toasty sweet earthy floral flavour, rather like roasted coconut was used.
.
The fried banana / goreng pisang is small but plump and juicy soft creamy, with addictive fruity sweet flavour.
.
A queue forms quickly every time a new batch of dessert fritters comes out from the fryer.

This stall has been quietly serving since the 1980s, and the couple is serious about their fritters, evident by the ample fruit, including bananas and cempedak, adorning the staff.
.
Their house batter is medium thick with a firm satisfying crunch, nicely holding the filling so it's less messy or crumbly than elsewhere. They're also more generous in serving size, with larger and thicker cuts.
.
The tender sweet potato has mild vegetal sweet flavour, while the dense yam / taro holds vegetal earthy savoury notes. The pandan / screwpine leaf infused tapioca is soft with bright floral earthy starchy sweet flavour.
.
The fried banana / goreng pisang is creamy and soft, bright with bold fruity sweet flavour and a lovely caramelised fragrance.

Founded in 1998 by the late Boon Fong Juan, and just 1 of 4 stalls remaining from the now-defunct Long House Food Centre, his wife Rose Le has run the stall since 2011.
.
They use a signature, tempura-like batter for their fritters, resulting in a beautiful golden hue that's non-greasy, and a gentle crispy crunch to texture.
.
The sweet potato is tender and yields easily, releasing its vegetal sweet starchy flavours. The yam / taro is soft and comes apart in small chunks, with mild vegetal earthy savoury flavour.
.
The tapioca has a unique golden yellow hue, fragrant and soft with earthy sweet flavour. The fried banana / goreng pisang is creamy and soft, with addictive floral fruity sweet notes, shiok.
