Shou Yi Fried Fritters

Shou Yi Fried Fritters at ION Orchard brings traditional Chinese fried snacks to Singapore's premier shopping mall through the Food Opera food court, offering authentic you tiao (fried dough sticks), banana fritters, and other beloved doughy treats that connect modern shoppers to generations of Chinese culinary tradition. Located in the basement of ION Orchard at #B4-03/04 within the vibrant Food Opera food court, Shou Yi represents the modern mall extension of Xi De Li, a 100-year-old family business that has been perfecting the art of Chinese fried snacks for a century, bringing heritage recipes and time-honoured preparation techniques to a new generation of customers who may be discovering these traditional treats for the first time. The stall's presence in Food Opera's elegantly designed food court creates an interesting fusion of old and new, where heritage snacks meet contemporary mall dining in an air-conditioned, comfortable environment that makes trying traditional Chinese fried fritters accessible to everyone from curious tourists to nostalgic locals.

The menu specialises in perfectly fried favourites that have comforted generations of Chinese diners, from the classic you tiao (dough sticks) that are traditionally enjoyed with soy milk for breakfast or as a snack, to crispy banana fritters that balance sweetness with the satisfying crunch of perfectly fried batter, fried tapioca that offers a unique textural experience, and innovative items like the Japanese Red Bean Bun with Yuzu that puts a contemporary twist on traditional fillings. Each item is fried fresh to order throughout the day, ensuring customers enjoy the crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior that defines perfectly executed fried fritters, while the vegetarian preparation makes these treats suitable for customers with various dietary restrictions. The stall also serves fresh soy milk that provides the perfect accompaniment to you tiao, creating the classic Chinese breakfast combination that has fueled generations of Chinese families, now available in convenient ION Orchard for anyone seeking authentic flavours without traveling to traditional neighbourhood locations.

Operating daily from 10am to 10pm within Food Opera, Shou Yi Fried Fritters provides convenient access for shoppers seeking a quick snack, office workers craving comfort food, and anyone looking to experience traditional Chinese snacks without leaving the central Orchard Road area. While reviews note mixed opinions on oiliness and pricing – both common considerations for mall locations with higher rents and modern preparation methods – the stall continues to attract customers seeking the nostalgia and comfort of traditional Chinese fried treats made with the expertise that comes from Xi De Li's century of experience in fried snacks. Whether you're Chinese and missing flavours from childhood, a foodie interested in trying traditional Chinese street food, or simply someone who enjoys well-executed fried snacks, Shou Yi Fried Fritters delivers the authentic taste, heritage preparation methods, and convenient location that make exploring traditional Chinese snacks a delicious, accessible experience in the heart of Singapore's shopping district.
