Unforgettable Carrot Cake 忘不了萝卜糕

Corner stall coming from blk 120 side. Famous/infamous.. Michelin guide for years. Joined the queue of about 15mins. Ordered a black carrot cake $5. Cooked with 3 eggs as per menu. Uncle prepping the radish at the back while aunty frying. Carrot Cake had a good char. Fragrant and slight crisp on surface. Their chilli is on the spicier side. Overall is good. Enjoyed it.

One of Singapore’s most famous carrot cakes, awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand three years in a row. The white version is fragrant and clean, letting the savoury notes of the carrot cake shine without being masked by heavy seasoning. The black version adds a gentle sweetness that’s well balanced, enhancing — not overpowering — the savoury base. Classic flavours, perfectly executed. A must-try for carrot cake lovers.

Stall is run by a lovely couple that churns out both white and black version of carrot cake cooked to perfection. You can tell that they have perfect control of the fire from the crispy edges, a hallmark of their cooking. I find that their white version has a stronger umami flavour which isn’t masked by the sweet sauce. The black version was evenly coated with sweet dark sauce, fragrant and savoury without being overly greasy. It’s also a lard-free dish as they are using vegetable oil instead.

Good plate of carrot cake, humble shop owners. $5 plate contains 3 eggs, super protein and carbs altogether. Can ask owner to make more charred if you like.

I got #2 one black and on white done my Uncle. Especially the black it gave me the Ratatouille 70s vibe. My only hope to Dear Michelin please don’t screw this one up.

Boss Lucas, why not approved? Quite a good plate of carrot cake mah. We order a plate of black and a plate of white. And we split it among ourselves and then we got our Ying Yang Carrot cake 🤣 Pricing and taste definitely nothing to complain about. If I’m around. I will come eat it again. But today specially came here to eat this. Just to prove Boss Lucas wrong. Verdict: He is wrong.

Very impressive carrot cake, easily one of my favourite in Singapore. The black carrot cake is super tasty with a lot of egg and crispy bits. In fact, the stall readily offers portions with double egg and triple egg. Highly recommended!

Be prepared to wait at least 20-30 min at this popular stall. The black carrot cake I got was good - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. There was umami as well. But did it hold up to its name of unforgettable? Perhaps not, but overall still a good plate.
