Where are the carrots in Fried carrot cakes nowadays !!

[Fishypie]

From having a decent pLate of fried carrot cake, many hawkers have degenerated them into
fried eggs' cakes.:(Gone are the days when an optimaL ratio of 75% carrot cake+25% eggs wouLd
make one cLamour for more.Now it's Like the other way.Fried carrot cakes have become too eggy.
Same goes for fried oyster omelette.There was more of the speciaL starchy hoon than eggs then..
Why?. The reason is, cost of raw eggs are far cheaper than the carrot cakes as suppLied by the manufacturers..knn.

As for oyster omelette thing, also got 2 types -oh nengg (fluffy omelete style) or or luak (more crispy, starchy type).

As for carrot cake, rare do we see ot get self made by hawkers now. Now sourced off site kitchen

i know where you are coming from bro, but everyone knows that carrot cake comes from mixture of fLour and
shredded radish..but apparentLy eggs have taken over as the main Lead.

big difference in taste and texture....black one is soft and white is crispy.....they not only add black sauce but the sweet sauce as well.

Hokkien uses orr jian, most Teochews wouLd caLL them or Luak.i wonder why too..

 

[yinyang]

Think it has to do with dialect -either hokkien (jian) or teochew (luak)?

How come only you peasants have this problem?

Kee Chiew doesn't have his problem?

I tell you all why lah.

Kee Chiew one is $10 a plate. Yours is $3 a plate.

Typical sinkie peasants, ai pee ai chee ai tua liap nee.

Pay peanuts you get monkee.

Understand!
