Fu Ming Cooked Food

Carrot Cake / Chye Tow Kueh (SGD $3) @ Fu Ming Cooked Food. . Specialist in the black version, this stall is easily spotted with their old-school Mickey Mouse signage. . Hawker couple Goh Chye Oo and Lim Chin Hong makes their carrot cake from scratch, the effort taking about 7 or 8 hours, the fresh daikon radish shredded, seasoned, and kneaded over 100 times to achieve a soft, bouncy texture. . Frying with a generous blanket of eggs and double lacings of sweet dark soy sauce, each bite is a greasy smoky burst of sweet savoury salty eggy flavour, with hints of crispy bits. . Their rendition is slightly more oily than elsewhere, but has its fans.

Very good carrot cake. Kway is soft and well fried through. Sauce is sweet and slightly charred. Only wish there's a bit more egg for 4 bucks. But delicious.
