5. Old Malaya Cafe Fried Carrot Cake in Black or White, $4 to $4.50
Enjoy $0.50 OFF Black Fried Carrot Cake When You Flash This Article
Unlike its Western counterpart, this Carrot Cake is not a cake per se. Rather, it’s made from radish, rice flour, and wheat flour combined and steamed to perfection, coated in an egg batter, then fried for that extra oomph. Pick from the black or white variety; its colour comes from the addition of dark soya sauce for added sweetness, while white is the plainer version.
6. Tai Cheong Bakery Egg Tart, $2 Each
