I'm sharing this because I haven't bought this popular snack in a long time and how come must chew so long ah? It's still fragrant but quite unpleasant.
Quietly serving up heaping plates of carrot cake for over 30 years.
.
Each plate is fried with preserved radish / chye poh, garlic, vegetable oil, and egg. Their carrot cake has both soft and crispy bits throughout, yum.
.
The white version has good textures then, with a pronounced smoky savoury sweet eggy spice flavour, though I understand this can be inconsistent sometimes.
.
Most agree the black version is better here, the addictive smoky sweet savoury eggy spice flavour being a stand-out.

I keep foolishly giving this Korean-Japanese stall chances. After the disappointing kimchi fried rice, you'd think no one gets Japanese curry wrong, since it's instant powder. This was possibly the worst paid Japanese curry I've eaten. It wasn't only bland, it had an incorrect flavour profile that frustrated me. No complaints about the shrimps, they checked all the boxes.
Really tender and worth it since its $22. We also ordered the furikake truffle pasta with it and it’s also good! Friday’s the day for live band if anyone wana know!
I had said their Hakka mee kia was lovely, so I came back to try just their Hakka mee kia. I wasn't disappointed. Simple seasoning and the noodles took care of the rest. Add even more simplicity in the form of lard, minced meat, tau gey, fried shallot. The portion was also huge.
Eh how come this time so bad? The filling had almost no taste.
I wanted it to be good, because I like such stalls. Unfortunately it was just one dimension - salty. There was some effort with variety of ingredients, even yam, but serving quite little.

Leek, hae bee hiam, satay pork. Giving this new stall a chance. Pardon the exploding box. I was hungry.
Fermented pork belly, otah, cabbage. Passable caifan in my new neighborhood.
Okay this stall is legit horrible. Even goreng pisang leh gg. The banana was the wrong kind. It's ripe and bland.
