How FRIED CARROT CAKE (菜头粿) is cooked! (Clementi, Singapore street food) 

I love these videos! Thank you Gregory, please know that we appreciate all the time and effort you put into these. subbed!

Man, I love this store. What's interesting is the old school vegetarian bee hoon beside it, $2 for a beehoon meal with assorted goodies and the zai er comes in 1 big piece. Braised duck beside the carrot stall ain't half bad too. Bak kwa infront has crazy long queues before CNY, beside that store there's the sesame oil chicken which is awesome to me. Many good eats in that hawker centre!

I have been eating their carrot cake since youth, thats when their parents were still around. I really love the fragrance of this carrot cake. Never fails to amaze me!

Most of my friends in NZ are a bit puzzled because I keep going back to Singapore for holidays. They get even more puzzled once I tell them it's just for the food; this vlog illustrates perfectly why I keep coming back - the wok skills and great technique (artistry?) that go into creating a plate of food that is so simple, and so tasty, but costs less than a capuccino in NZ! I don't usually go for white carrot cake very often, I already have a few favourite stalls for the black one but this one looks worth the bus ride out west to try the white. The only two stalls whose white carrot cake I used to really like are both gone now - Miow Sin was at Lavender but I'm not sure where they went after the food centre closed. There was also a good one at North Bridge Rd - Ke Shuang Xing - but I heard the uncle retired and nobody else in the family could do carrot cake like he did. Last time I was in NBR the stall was still open but they were doing laksa etc.

My favorite childhood carrot cake stall!

You should try the one at Pipit Road morning market.. fried by a uncle in 80s.. doing it since with his dad on trishaw.. he is genuinely old school... he cut the carrot cake in the hot pan so have small bits or big chunk, unlike nowadays people use wire net to cut and looks like kway teow. Open from 6am to 10am... if you like carrot cake.. this is hidden gem must try.

been eating at this carrot cake stall when the cook was the uncle in straw hat (previous gen owner) so many memories... Gem of a video Greg thanks for ur hard work

Excellent work as always. Love this "documentary-ish" style of shooting as well!

Best carrot cake on planet Earth, hands down.

nice ! looks very dedicated the uncle cook 😂👍

wow seriously he's so super generous with the eggs!! looks yummy! the one in whampoa food centre shortchanged customers - super stingy with eggs uses 3 eggs for 4 servings of $4 carrot cake of a small portion!!

i tried this stall before, really nice. If u want go early, if u go after 1.00pm, bye bye come again.

Been eating from this stall since I was a kid. The grandpa is a real character with his thick eyebrow and straw hat. Now his granson taking over I think

The sounds of stir fry and the smoke coming from the hot plate... man, why don't we have this is Melb?!?! 😭😭

This is my favourite carrot cake stall! Together with the one at Ghim Moh Market 🤤

I just sssooo miss char kwey teow... One of my fave together with hokkien mee.. Mee goreng nasi lemak roti prata with curry... Laksa... Hor fun... Used to hang out in clementi 448 coffeeshop when i was in singapore.. 11 yrs has pass.. I definitely will go back and visit soon... Oh and i miss porridge sambal.. Nasi padang... ONDEHONDEH... BUBUR CHACHA.. and claypot rice.. MADRE MIA AM DROOLING... Been craving all those food since i came here in Madrid..

Wow, man! I liked that a lot - I hope you get permission from other stall owners to film them at work, too. This could be a great series.

I love it when fried very crispy or slightly burned and with pork lark without chilli then you can taste the original old taste 😋😘💪👍👏👏👏🤓

I love this fry radish very good healthy foods very fresh and healthy foods thanks

this is hard work man. doing this all day long? i really miss this stuff. why is it that singaporeans always come up with simple and delicious dishes?

Tastes delicious Must go try Support the locals 👍👍👍

One of my all time fav food other than my parents' cooking. Kudos to you for the excellent video!

Yum my favourite carrot cake stall

Great new format. I hope a lot more stalls would let you film how they make the food. No pressure but I'm looking forward to the next one. 😉

I remembered his father (who I have believed has passed on) who wore a straw-hat which was his signature during my childhood at the old Tiong Bahru market.

Carrot Cake - The Silent Movie...coming soon to a theatre near you!

I love how this one is quite have Dancingbacons vibe to it because of the lack of presenter/speech plus some camera shots too lol

The original carrot cakes I loved to eat way back in the 50s' & 60s' were fried with chunky pieces of lard and chopped garlic, with sweet soy sauce. They were in strips of around 4x1cm, fried to a near crisp sometimes for that smoky flavour. That's extinct now. Today's version is all chopped and mashed up.

Luv this, no fine presentation needed.

I noticed that the stall now opens in the afternoons so gave them a try. Ordered the black version extra sweet but it was a total disappoinment. It tasted more like less sweet than extra sweet and was lacking in overall flavour (forgot to add seasoning and ran out of chye poh?). It was a soggy mess. The guys manning the stall weren't the usual ones. Sorry Greg, but the stall at Clementi West Street 2 does it much better.

look damn good! make me hungry again, lucky that is a good lone at chong pang market but they closed at 12pm. sad...nvrm, can go marsling hawker center

Gosh you finished two plates! It has to be good .... I gotta try it soon.

Wow! Look yummy.

hey greg, can you think about doing a program that shows all the sauces that these hawkers use. i never get to see the brands they use because everything goes so fast. plus i live in sweden and would like to know if i can find the same brands here. i think it would be a great show. anyway, keep up the good work! love your content as always!

Geez, haven't been to Clementi Central early enough in a while to catch this stall's goodies. Are they new owners or next generation owners? Is the taste still good as claimed by many? My preference at any stall is always a balanced delight of half white half black.

whats the different between malaysian carrot cake and singapore carrot cake??

Love carrot cake. Have never minded the oiliness of hawker food. However, in this instance the frying technique (huge batch) requires a LOT of oil and here they really used much more oil than needed, as seen from the oil separation. Just my opinion.. Nice video, though, and I can't wait for the review.

Just curious. U single handedly swiped those two plates clean?

Camera set up must be a big headache in an action-packed limited space like this. Great job!

Hi Greg is this carrot cake halal?

Fried Carrot was a lot better when i was growing up in Singapore from late 80s to tge early 90s. The cake was softer and was not as dry as they made them from the late 90s onwards. What happened? Can't they bring back the original quality? Now all you taste are the sauces.

Tried this store, the food was mamateh, other places serve way better, but the hype is real, the queue is constant and the wait times are long.

Must try

Your vid quality is good. Should list your gear here too.

I love it

Use to be you eat carrot cake with chopsticks but nowadays you can only eat with spoon

one of the best.

OMG. Everything. Is. So. Fast.

Hi, how come no review of it at the end?

Ittō-ryū: normal Chef Nito-ryu: carrot cake Chef Santo-ryu: ???

Hello Bro, My choice is, the plate on the right...yummy!!! It's a popular stall and the queue can be long at times. While there, did you try the porridge, a few stalls away ?

Just bought 100 shares of "Singapore United Egg Farm."

Carrot 红萝卜 白萝卜 white radish

why did they add the egg in 2 addition?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Nothing like free range eggs

The carrot cake is cut to such small pieces... don't have the bite!

Might always all smashed it up, no need to do so much chopping. 🤣

The amount of oil...😌

Just remind who have HEMORRHOIDS do not eat radish cake. It will make you cry for the pain.

🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍

looks yummy yet incredibly oily but who care ?

Peeping shots 😂
