Katong Jago Carrot Cake

Although it doesn’t get as much attention as other famous Char Kway Teow stalls, Katong Jago still serves up a pretty good plate of Char Kway Teow. Plus point of a hidden gem? You will not need to queue for a long time! They appear to also sell Carrot Cakes, but during our visit, only Char Kway Teow was on the menu. We will probably be back to try their Carrot Cake.

More clean tasting than their black carrot cake but no less delicious, the soft pillows of rice cake are fried along with eggs to a slightly charred crisp on the edges, and the “cai po” as well as garlic really come through.

Taste: 3.5/5

The generous amount of preserved radish is what makes the carrot cake here appealing to me. Its crunch and tang help break the monotony of the silky smooth and soft blocks of sweet dark soy sauce-stained carrot cake streaked through with ribbons of egg.

With wok hei levels through the roof and the noodles slick with greasy goodness, this was definitely an above average version which I have been aware of for years in my neighbourhood but just never got around to trying. Am I glad I finally did because it was delicious and especially value for money with cockles thrown in.

I’ve never been a fan of Black Carrot Cake. This stall made me a convert, well, at least just for theirs. He’s got plenty Chye Poh along with the egg and white radish cake, fries everything in a wok on high heat together with a splash of black soy sauce, allowing the sugar to caramelize and form crisp sweet edges around the carrot cake itself. They only open till 11am daily, so you’ve gotta be a early riser to catch this worm.
