Lagoon Carrot Cake
East Coast Lagoon Food Village, #40
Opens: 11.30am-11pm (opens at 8.30am on weekends and public holidays)
This stall serves up one of the best fried carrot cakes. The egg and flour pieces are pressed together into one large, thin and extremely fragrant pancake that is fried until golden brown.
The result? Lightly crispy egg and savoury flour cakes.
Price: From $3
Soon Yan Carrot Cake
Block 111, Toa Payoh Lorong 1
Opens: 6am-5pm (closed Tuesdays)
You get a stack of neatly-pressed flat cakes of egg and flour pieces here, fried evenly until a nice, light golden colour.
There are also a couple of prawns scattered around. The cheery aunty will gladly add for you bits of chai poh if you want a stronger flavour.
Price: From $2.50
Geylang Lorong 29 Carrot Cake
396 East Coast Road
Opens: 11.30am-9pm. Closed on Mondays
The thinly fried eggs are crispy at the edges, and the flour cakes are moist and chewy, though some might find them too soft.
Some prawns are added for a bit more flavour. Thesambal chilli is lightly spicy without being overpowering.
Note: The carrot cake here is fried in lard, which makes it unsuitable for those requiring halal choices.
Price: From $3
107 Carrot Cake
Soon Seng Restaurant
Block 107, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4, #01-164
Opens: 4pm-midnight
The fried carrot cake served here has less egg than usual, which results in it looking slightly pale and undercooked.
Taste-wise, it had lots more chai poh pieces in it, which might make it too salty for some people. The flour cakes were also slightly softer and chewier.
Price: From $2
He Zhong Carrot Cake
Bukit Timah Food Centre, #02-185
Opens: 6.30 am-10.30pm
They call themselves the originator of the fried carrot cake.
$2 gets you a plate of neat, dark brown squares that you can almost pick up with your hands and munch on like a biscuit.
The carrot cake is slightly too much on the chewy side but still firm.
Price: From $2
Marina South Delicious Food
Maxwell Food Centre, #01-35
Opens: 7am-11pm (Closed on Mondays)
Fresh banana leaves are placed on the plate and add a bit of colour to this otherwise pale dish.
The eggs are fried until crispy, but the pieces of flour cake remain soft and springy.
Flavour-wise, it might be bit bland if you like a stronger, saltier taste. There are only a few bits of chai poh (Chinese preserved radish) scattered around.
Price: From $3
Tang Leng Choy Tar Kia Mee
Block 79A, Circuit Road Food Centre, #01-98
Opens: 9am-2am
This vegetarian stall serves up large, chewy chunks of flour cake, lightly fried until brown at the edges.
It is not too strong tasting and will make a light afternoon snack. An eggless version is also available.
Price: From $2.50
Changi Village Carrot Cake
Changi Village Food Centre, #01-31
Opens: 7am-7pm (half-days occasionally)
A never-ending queue greets you at this nondescript stall. Here, it is the black version of the fried carrot cake that is more popular.
The taste is slightly sweet but does not get cloying. The large, generous chunks of flour cake are moist and chewy.
Timings are erratic – when we were there, the uncle spoke vaguely of taking a half-day off, so it’s best to go in the morning.
