In spite of rising food costs, some hawkers are still choosing to sell their wares at wallet-friendly prices. Heng Leong Carrot Cake recently surfaced on the popular Hawkers United โ Dabao 2020 Facebook group for their affordable and delicious fried carrot cake, priced from just $2.50 a plate.

Fans laud the hawker stall for their old-school chai tow kway. The radish cake is said to be handmade and steamed fresh on-site, and then chopped up into sizeable chunks. Each plate is fried-to-order, so youโre getting your fried carrot cake piping hot.

You can choose either the Black Carrot Cake or White Carrot Cake, priced at $2.50 for a small portion and $3 for a bigger plate. For the best of both worlds, order the โYuan Yangโ style, which simply refers to half black and half white.
The black version is said to be the preferred option, as the radish pieces are soft with an addictive sweetness from the dark soy sauce.
