Black & White Carrot Cake @ Lau Goh Teochew Chye Thow Kway

 


Carrot cake at Zion Riverside Food Centre. Do you get black or white carrot cake at Lau Goh Teow Chew Chye Thow Kway? We got both types in one for this carrot cake food review.

First off, do take note for those who do not know is that the owner Uncle Peter, is partially deaf, so is his wife who tends the stall front. So please do not lose your temper when they do not reply you. Point to the item on the menu that you want, the amount and whether you want chili or not. There is a signage that states :

Dear customers,
Uncle Peter is partially deaf, so he can't hear you. Due to the COVID-19 situation, he also can't read your lips to take your order since everyone has to wear a mask.
Please help Uncle Peter by pointing at the menu to indicate your order. Thank you for your understand and patience!

Now that we got that out of the way, let's talk food.

Their carrot cake has no lard & pork, and only vegetable oil used. So the lack of pork lard aroma would be lacking, but think on the positive side, it is healthier. However, the perfumed fragrance from the laboriously fried carrot cake was definitely accentuating. Looking at how Uncle Peter did his frying was a treat, almost as if he was doing a piece of artwork, and mesmerizing.

The black carrot cake, or rather fried radish cake, was evenly coated with sweet dark soy sauce, caramelized from all the frying, along with a generous ton of eggs. Same goes to the white carrot cake which was savoury, intricate and had a pleasant granular texture from the ample amount of cai poh (preserved radish) within. A downside would probably be the base kway or cake, which they do not make themselves. Kway was not chewy nor had the enjoyable mouthful experience. But taste was definitely yummilicious, with fish sauce and strong emitting garlic fragrance. We got the $5 order size and it was a huge amount, great for sharing or even as a main on its own.

Orders ranges from $5 to $6, $8, $10.

Such generous amount of egg and delicious taste and aromatic creation of good food, Lau Goh Teochew Chye Thow Kway carrot cake is one item we highly recommend when you visit Zion Riverside Food Centre.

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

Experience Spicy and Savory Flavors with Ng Kuan’s Chilli Pan Mee Pork Cutlet Ban Mian

Looking for a tasty late night meal around Hougang Kovan area? We headed down for Ng Kuan Chilli Pan Mee for their 炸猪肉板面, spicy noodles with their delish pork cutlet for this food review. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Their noodles were amazingly springy, coupled with their awesome thick chili that was spicy and marbled with texture. Mixed together with their noodles and you get a delectable and tremendously satisfying combi. Thrown into the mix was an egg with runny yolk for the added smoothness and silky texture added to the noodles. For the crunchy department comes in the form of savoury crunchy ikan bilis, as well as crispy deep fried shallots and garlic for the uplifting flavour and aromatics. On the side, we had their deep fried pork cutlet, chopped into bite-sized chunks. They were fabulously deep in distinct flavour, crunchy and varying and superior in taste and texture. Although greasy, it was a marvelous pairi...

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
