The caramel taste masks the taste of the egg and lard, which defeats the purpose of eating the food.
True. But if I want to go for the taste of the egg and lard, I'd go for the white. I have even tried making this dish myself. Go supermarket and buy the carrot cake. Go home and chop the thing up. Fry in some oil (have not tried lard yet), put in eggs, prawns, sotong, fish sauce, garlic, white pepper, scallions, and soya sauce. For black, add kejap manis or thick soy sauce.

That is the taste of the food, like those days you eat ho fun, it is done a bot over fried to get the 'wok hey' ( not the shop). The smell & the taste.
in 1969 we’re so backward and poor that getting sweetness and fake sugary goodness out of chow tar kueh with thick black sauce costing only 26.9c (with egg) was a luxury. today can pay $69 for a fanciful snow mooncake with champagne truffle flavor to sextisfy sweet tooth.
