7 Spots to Get Your Fill of Fu Zhou Oyster Cake

Hailing from the Chinese province of Fujian and shaped like a UFO, Fu Zhou oyster cake is a fritter made from a rice batter and typically filled with ingredients like minced meat, oysters, prawns, Chinese celery and topped with peanuts before it is deep fried. While the snack remains common in Fujian as well as Taiwan, it is a dying art here in Singapore, with only a handful of businesses still serving it. The next time you’re craving for this savoury snack, we’ve got you covered with these seven spots where you can get your hands on them, including an online option!

#1 Maxwell Fuzhou Oyster Cake

A stalwart at Maxwell Food Centre that needs no introduction, Maxwell Fuzhou Oyster Cake has been dishing out fresh oyster cakes since the 1960s. Started by Madam Pang Siew Ting in order to support her five children, the stall is now helmed by one of her daughters. The oyster cakes are fried in small batches to ensure utmost freshness, and each order is handed to you piping hot. The oyster cake is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, a wonderful marriage of moist minced meat, chopped oysters, crunchy peanuts and coriander, all covered in a fried rice batter!
