Singapore Eat: Maxwell Fuzhou Oyster Cake (洪家福州蚝饼) @ Maxwell Food Centre

Maxwell Fuzhou Oyster Cake (洪家福州蚝饼), established since 1962, is one of the many stalls in Maxwell Food Centre. The stall sells only original Fuzhou oyster cake (or oyster puff), a traditional snack from Fuzhou, China, that is passed down from generation to generation. Maxwell Fuzhou Oyster Cake is recommended by Singapore Michelin Guide since 2024.

The oyster cake, with all its ingredients wrapped in flour batter, is deep-fried until its crust is dark brown and looks crispy even before taking a bite. Adding peanuts to the batter before frying has been a Fuzhou tradition.

The filling of the oyster puff contains minced pork, shrimp, oysters and coriander. The crispy crust with crunchy peanuts and fresh hot filling makes the oyster puff a really tasty snack, even after meals.

Anthony Bourdain, the renowned celebrity chef, had mentioned Maxwell Fuzhou Oyster Cake's oyster puffs in his collection "The Nasty Bits".
