Finally found the carrot cake that hubby has been talking about. The last time we went to the food centre and couldn't find it at all. There are a lot of carrot cake stalls in this hawker centre and it was just impossible to know which was the original famous carrot cake stall. My dad brought us there back in March and finally we know which stall it is!

Just before we ordered, I told hubby that I wanted extra eggs and extra black. He couldn't stop laughing. Why? Cos this stall only sells white carrot cake lor. *facepalm *dumb blonde moment

We tabao-ed the carrot cake home and kept it till dinner time. Even though it had gone a bit cold, it was still super delicious.


This stall sells carrot cake that i ate when i was a kid 30 years ago, back when the time when the most popular shopping center was Yaohan! To me a trip to Bukit Timah Shopping Center's  Yaohan was not complete without going through the toys section and mashed potatoes at Waffletown at the basement level.

What i always felt was the best is this old shop that an old uncle was frying 菜头粿. Whats amazing about this you ask? Lotsa Eggs, lotsa Garlic and lotsa 菜圃! The old uncle will slowly and skillfully cook his dish while 10 over customers wait for their orders. And guess what this is where i learn how to eat chilli as a kid! Why? Cause the uncle always give me the order wrong, carrot cake for kids end up with chilli! But it was so so good that, because of it, now me and my siblings all take chilli! (K mebbe abit exaggerating but yeah lol!)

New generation of chef tending the stall but the food still is good! I feel that its second best in SG, but since not everyone can eat my wife's cooking, it might be best for for most of you. Trying is a must, cause this is how i think carrot cake should taste like, every mouth of it will make you want to go for another!
