Singapore｜Heng Carrot Cake

Got the medium carrot cake black and white mixed. $6. Each serving was made to order, and they bring it to your table. The carrot cake was fluffy, but with crispy bits and unmistakable wok-hey. Not sure if it was Michelin worthy, but it certainly was tasty and for a humble carrot cake, it’s done really well. Would come again.

Not the most picturesque but for sure one of the tastiest. Each plate is served fresh with perfect smokiness from the wok hei. I ate the black carrot cake (with soya sauce) but there are more menu available for your own choosing.

I waited for 40 minutes on a Sunday evening for their fried carrot cake and it was well worth the wait. I am surprised to find out that their carrot cake was steamed fresh in the stall. What is magical and different is that the carrot cake is so soft that it feels like fried Chwee Kueh (steamed rice cake) but full of radish flavour. Do not judge a book by its cover that it looks a plate of messy stuff. It tastes many times better than the usual carrot cake. Another thing that makes it special is that it is no pork and no lard, but as true blue foodie who likes my fried pork lard, I can’t tell at all. I saw that the Newton Food Centre will be closed from 1 Nov 2022 to 31 Jan 2023. So if you hope to catch them, you know what to do.
