About this blog

Singapore
Singapore is a melting pot of cultures from all over the world. This rare mix of 5 million people in an area the size of London, has lead to a vast array of culinary experiences. As a bit of a foodie, I plan on experiencing as much of this as possible! Plus, as a designer I will be capturing any creative or just intriguing products, packaging and retail outlets I see a long my journey. Enjoy.

Carrot Cake, "Chai Tau Kway" 菜头粿


You may be thinking, "this ain't no Carrot cake fool!", but it is Chinese Carrot Cake, well, Hong Kong Carrot cake actually from Luk Yu, in the Food Opera, Ion Centre. I am still not sure what the exact ingredients are??? After a bit of research, it looks like it is a baked cake, which the main ingredient is a root vegetable, such as White Carrot, Turnip or Radish, with fish added, something like dried shrimps. Once baked it is cut in to chunks and fried with noodles. The end result is something that I think tastes and feels like slice fried scallops. It tastes great!
