There’s a lot
inside this little cake.
Fuzhou oyster cakes wrap oysters, prawns, minced pork and herbs in batter, with peanuts and ikan bilis on top. The cakes are fried in a ladle until their shell turns golden.
At Poh Hwa, the cake comes with the stall’s chilli sauce. Choose the standard version, or ask whether the extra-filling version is available that day.

A family thread
A recipe carried
through generations.
Published accounts trace the family’s oyster-cake tradition to the 1950s. Jenny and Mr Tan continued that tradition at Fu Zhou Poh Hwa, now at #02-34 Berseh Food Centre.
Each cake is assembled in a ladle, fried to a golden shell and served as a compact savoury snack. The 2019 stall photograph is archival; the current address and telephone were rechecked in November 2026.
