The lighter version made from white radish (daikon). This version is pan-fried until the exterior achieves a golden, crispy shell while the interior remains soft and fluffy. Often paired with a soy-vinegar sauce for dipping.
Tips from diners
Arrive before 9am for the freshest batches. By 11am, earlier batches have been sitting and lose some crispiness.
Order both white and black to compare — they're fundamentally different flavours despite the same cooking method.
The darker, more flavourful version with dried shrimp and preserved black beans mixed in. Earthier and saltier than white, this version develops a deeper golden-brown exterior and more complex flavour profile.
Tips from diners
The black beans give this version significantly more flavour than white. If you prefer subtle, go white; if you want bold, choose black.
The stall's dipping sauce is a simple chilli and vinegar blend that cuts through the richness of the fried cake. The acidity brightens each bite.
Tips from diners
Ask for extra chilli sauce on the side. The standard amount is subtle; more sauce makes a big difference.
A heartier preparation where a crispy-edged egg sits atop the carrot cake, adding richness and protein. The runny yolk mingles with the cake.
Tips from diners
This is heavier than plain carrot cake. Order if you want a more substantial breakfast or lunch.
The best way to taste-test both versions side-by-side. This combination plate lets you experience the textural and flavour differences in a single meal.
Tips from diners
Start with this combo if you've never had carrot cake before. It's the best way to understand the dish.
