Vegetarian Freid Carrot Cake "Black Style Sweet Type"
It is rice cake made of rice flour and white radish. In Singapore and Malaysia this is often served in large rectangular slabs which are steamed and then later fried whole. It is also breakfast for most of us when we were young and the fried rectangular cake taste delicious eat alone.
Today, I will introduce you to fried carrot cake
"Black Style Sweet Type"which is something that's commonly sold in hawker centres in Singapore, but not commonly sold As A Vegetarian Dish. The fried carrot cake is made of white radish and rice flour, cut into pieces - some I known used the carrot cake "hand made" while others order from factory which are machine produced. It is then fried in a wok with seasonings eg; msg,sugar or sweet sauce,light sauce and some added with chilli and vegetarian oyster sauce(eggs optional). You can choose it "black" or "white" style in some store. However, I am recommending the "Black" ones which uses black soy sauce (sweet type). Besure to check with the store owner, vegetarian stalls serves fried carrot cake with eggs or with out and if you don't take eggs please let the store owner know. You notice that the Stall that I am going to introduce can't be found on the map. The vegetarian stall at Circuit Road opposite Block 49 Circuit Road is serving vegetarian
