A server then proceeded to cut it into small pieces with scissors, in a process dubbed “the most satisfying new tableside presentation in Vegas”.<\/p>\n

However, several Asian netizens who commented on the post could not resist pointing out that what was being served was basically you tiao<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Singaporean singer Nathan Hartono chipped in to note the existence of “butterflies”, probably referring to butterfly fritters, another fried dough snack.<\/p>\n

In contrast, many netizens shared that a you tiao<\/em> in their country would cost significantly less.<\/p>\n

A Singapore user said he ate one daily for S$1.20, and cuts it himself.<\/p>\n
