Singapore Carrot Cake has NO Carrots? Then what? Black & White Carrot Cake 菜头粿 Singapore Hawker Food

  • Share this:

Carrot cake is one of our favourite Singapore hawker food (street food). Contrary to its name, Singapore carrot cake does not have carrots in them. It’s usually served in black or white version. To be honest, we have difficulty deciding which one we prefer but usually we order the black one - so which one is your favourite? If you’re not Asian, you’ll probably be somewhat confused by the name of this dish with the other carrot cake that’s served as a dessert (real cake cake) because we are also confused when we see that carrot cake (real cake cake). LOL! We like to order dish as a side to go with our main dishes whenever we eat at hawker centres. Try this recipe and let us know what you think. Happy cooking!

See the ingredient list below for your easy reference. Hope you can recreate this yummy dish in the comfort of your home.

Hihi! Thanks so much for watching our videos! We are a couple from Singapore. Usually Roland cooks & Jamie hides behind the scene filming, editing, photo-taking & doing everything else including replying to your comments. We specialise in Singapore-influenced Chinese food but we do cook other types of food every now & then. As we have other full-time jobs (not Spice N' Pans related) so please pardon us if we can't do more to help you. When our channel was much smaller, we were able to reply almost to all of your comments & we love doing that. However, as our subscriber base grows (thank you so much!!), it has become very challenging for us to do so. We hope some of you can help us by replying to some of the questions posed by our fellow avid home cooks. Thank you so so much for sharing our passion.
