Dough Culture Pte Ltd has established itself as Singapore's largest manufacturer of You Tiao (Chinese fried dough sticks), revolutionizing traditional Chinese breakfast culture through modern automation and stringent food safety standards while maintaining HACCP and Halal certifications. Founded by Alex Ong after witnessing elderly women working tirelessly through the night to manually knead, roll, and fry dough at traditional stalls, the company was born from a vision to honor their hard work by developing automated dough-making processes that preserve authentic flavors while ensuring consistent quality and food safety. This innovative approach has transformed a labor-intensive traditional craft into a scalable operation that serves multiple outlets across Singapore, from White Sands Shopping Centre in Pasir Ris to major shopping centers like AMK Hub, Causeway Point, and City Square Mall, making authentic You Tiao accessible to modern consumers seeking traditional breakfast experiences.

The core product offering at Dough Culture centers around their signature You Tiao, prepared using automated systems that maintain the traditional taste and texture that Singaporeans expect from this beloved Chinese breakfast staple. Their manufacturing process adheres to the most stringent food safety and hygiene standards, ensuring that each batch meets both HACCP international food safety requirements and local halal certification standards, making their products suitable for Singapore's diverse religious communities. The company's commitment to quality consistency across all retail locations means customers can expect the same authentic You Tiao experience whether they visit their Admiralty Place outlet, Changi City Point location, or any of their other strategically positioned stores throughout Singapore, maintaining the delicate balance of crispy exterior and soft, chewy interior that defines perfect You Tiao.

Dough Culture's success represents a broader trend in Singapore's food industry where traditional recipes meet modern technology to create scalable businesses that preserve cultural heritage while meeting contemporary food safety and accessibility standards. Their expansion to multiple prime retail locations, including major shopping centers and transportation hubs, demonstrates how traditional Chinese breakfast culture can be successfully integrated into Singapore's modern retail landscape. The company's story resonates with Singapore's entrepreneurial spirit, showing how observation of traditional practices can inspire innovative solutions that honor cultural heritage while creating sustainable business models, positioning Dough Culture as both a food manufacturer and a cultural bridge that connects traditional Chinese culinary traditions with modern Singaporean lifestyle demands.

Still looking... lol. The youtiao was hard as a rock, and the service is better left unsaid. This negative impression probably isn't equally applicable to all outlets, but I definitely won't be coming back for 'Asia's home to the best youtiao'...

The shop states it closes at 8:30pm, but I arrived at 7:50pm and the aunty said they were already closing. The staff were also unfriendly on other occasions I visited.

Last week my colleagues and I bought the you tiao and butterfly there. They were too powdery and very soft, not cooked through. Very disappointed, not going to buy from this outlet again.

Today, 14/9/23, at 2:30 PM, I am writing to provide feedback about the branch at Hougang Rivercourt. When I passed by the counter at the aforementioned location, there was no one there. I walked around for a while and then returned. Finally, two Malay aunties were at the counter. When I stood in front of them, they were still chatting and didn't realize I was waiting until I said hello. You know what? Because of my hello, one of the older ladies shouted at me, saying I scared her to death. What kind of staff do you employ? I will not visit this store in the future.

Love their Tau Suan and porridge with fried you tiao. Oh, their crisp roast goose is super delicious too! I always get to just munch on it or have it with bee hoon. My only complaint is their soya milk. Why isn't it the same as the fresh, hot ones at the Nex mall, but instead served in bottles? It would be great to have fresh, hot soya milk with you tiao! It's a pity that no one in this area sells fresh hot soya milk.
