''You Tiao'' is a Singaporean snack delight that was very popular since many years back.
These snacks, which are long ''tube'' like in shape, brownish coloured, fried flour soft sticks, were usually sold at coffeshops in the 60s, 70s and 80s and was a popular snack to go along with one's coffee or porridge.
Nowadays, it is making a ''comeback'' at air-con shopping malls where small shops, acting like coffeeshops of the past, sell them alongside other local food delights like Nasi Lemak, Laksa, Dry Mee etc.
''You Tiao'' is a tasty and delicious snack that is often enjoyed by the older generation, the baby-boomers. However, young people are also getting ''addicted'' to it as it is very relaxing to chew onto a hot, crispy ''you tiao'' and snack away with a cup of coffee.
Be careful though, this snack can be very bad for the body's system. It is made of oil (mainly) and too much of it will cause the arteries of the body to get clogged!

When I was in Singapore. My friend serves me this You Tiao. When I saw it I'm not sure if it is good but when I taste it am so surprised. It is so great.
Yes Dining Tables.
The words 'You Tiao' mean 'Oil Stick' if translated from mandarin to English.
Although it is bad for health (cos of the oil in it), it is simply delicious. Agree with you! Glad you like it too!
this youtiao is sooo delicious, i like it very very much but wouldnt dare eat much cos of the oil content (like u said). well, i suppose we have to eat everything in moderation...
