Where are the carrots in Fried carrot cakes nowadays !!

Bukit Timah 7 mile hawker centre there's 2 famous stalls.......think they still make their own cake to fry
Oh, just watched that Mother & daughter team on Ch8 2 nights ago..aLso Lots of eggs they hantam inside !
 
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. :rolleyes:

Worse still......... the rice cake has more starch than rice for obvious reasons incl factory bought instead of DIY in the past. Money want to make a lot but cutting corners hoping like hell you won't notice.

In the past Tanglin Pau used to be superb till they get their paus from factory without quality control at all........... result? biz dropped like hell & they are now history. Stupid and greed assholes.

Let's screw those who are unfair in their dealings with us!!!!!!!!!!!

Carrot cake is a bad English translation to begin with.

Chye Tow Kway NEVER had any carrot inside. It should be mooli, a kind of raddish.

The confusion starts when in Mandarin, Chye Tow Kway is 萝卜糕 (luo bo gao; literally "raddish cake"). There are 红萝卜 (hong luo bo; red raddish = carrot) and 白萝卜 (bai luo bo; white raddish = mooli).

Since the commonly known translation for 萝卜 is "carrot" instead of "mooli", Chye Tow Kway is called "carrot cake" which is a direct (albeit bad) translation of the Mandarin name 萝卜糕 (luo bo gao).

Our paus mostly from central litchen, dry and tasteless (almost minced) with too thick skin. Shd be "juicy" (or drooping) as from some traditional pau tiams across the causeway.
