1. Changi Village Carrot Cake
Image credit: @terrenceongwh
I’m an absolute sucker for carrot cake, so this entry should come as no surprise. Changi Village Carrot Cake only serves Black Carrot Cake ($3/$4/$5) instead of the white version I prefer, but that doesn’t mean I’d give the store a pass when I’m in the area. The uncle running the stall has managed to perfect the art of making black carrot cake after over 30 years of hard work.
Interestingly, he adds the egg after frying the radish cubes in soya sauce, resulting in a black carrot cake that is a little lighter in colour than usual, but still bursting with savoury-sweet flavour and packing a spicy kick from the added chilli. Good news for chye poh fans, each plate of this carrot cake comes filled with the ingredient.

Changi Village Food Centre is a common rest stop for people taking the ferry to Pulau Ubin, but its other claim to fame is being the spot for nasi lemak in Singapore. One of the stalls upholding the hawker centre’s reputation is Mizzy Corner Nasi Lemak, serving up plates of Nasi Lemak with a quality that has stayed consistent since it opened in 1997. Their six Nasi Lemak Sets start from a wallet-friendly $3.50, featuring their signature coconut-infused basmati rice. They also have a Surprise Me Set for the adventurous, which gets you a random dish of their choice for just $5.

The hawkers are up as early as 1:30am every day to make their signature sambal chilli sauce, which is a spicy and aromatic affair that has fans coming back for more.
