Starting as a pop-up stall at events, enterprising hawkerpreneur-chef Claire Huang has since grown her humble brand into a hawker stall and carrot cake distributor.
.
Her father, Ng Kwee Boon, has been making and supplying carrot cake for over 22 years, steaming them the traditional way using large aluminium trays. Claire also picked up frying skills from her uncle who sells his own chye tow kueh.
.
The carrot cake has distinct cubes, moist and soft and gently springy, with a good topping of preserved radish / chye poh.
.
The black has addictive sweet eggy savoury salty spicy flavour, while the white has fragrant smoky savoury salty eggy sweet spicy .flavour.
.
Their unique creations are a stand out. The Thai hottie features chili flakes for a sharp spicy kick with good fiery heat. And the Bacon has decadent chunks of pork bacon which complements with its meaty salty smoky flavour.
.
An excellent take which you can't get anywhere else.

Although Carrot Cubes already moved their operation to an industrial building, but their name still occupying one of the stall here at Cheng San.
So you still can get some traditional carrot cake from this stall. The yuan yang carrot cake is mixed of both black and white version. Both has its own excellent taste and I love both of them as well.
For some reason I keep eating this. I liked white previously, but wow, black is better! Really nothing to nitpick. The white cake though was disappointing this time, having the yuckiness sometimes coming with white carrot cake.
Crispy on the outside yet not oily. Had good wok hei as well. Will be back to try the rest of their flavors.
