Lau Goh Teochew Chye Thow Kway (Zion Riverside Food Centre)

I personally like my carrot cake sweet with charred hints and this dish checks both boxes. Love that it’s not over filled with egg batter as well. Reco to try this stall if you’re in Zion - very easy to spot with the long queue

A very popular stall and among my favourites, now in its 2nd generation from its establishment in the 1960s.
.
Hawker Peter Goh and wife are hearing-impaired, and the innovative way they take orders through pictures and clear signages is efficient, moving the queue quickly.
.
The white version is appealing with a slightly crispy edge, good amount of egg holding the soft moist carrot cake together, and an enticing savoury salty spice sweet eggy flavour.
.
The black version is delicious with small crispy bits within, good amount of wispy egg mixed with the soft moist carrot cake, and an addictive sweet savoury spice salty eggy flavour.

The waiting time is quite long here at lau goh.

I found that the black carrot cake was a tad too sweet. The white carrot cake had a slight crisp.

This is quite good though, waited another 30mins to dabao home for the wife

Take note: the shop assistant seems to be a little hard of hearing. So do proceed forward to the ordering counter to point out which item u wish to order.

At Lau Goh Teochew Chye Thow Kway, the carrot cake is slightly different from the rest out there as the moment you sink your teeth into it, you can immediately feel the soft texture of the radish cake. It is almost to a mash consistency with a slight crisp on the outside. The flavours are not overpowering, even for the black version, and the addition of pepper gives it a nice touch. Overall, a very unique plate that stands out on its own as compared to other carrot cakes out there.

Owner has hearing impair so he usually read your order via your lip movements. Due to covid-19 situation, the owner brilliantly thought of displaying the menu with prices for you to point at.

Radish white cakes were flattened and mash instead of the usual cube ones you get elsewhere. Not as crispy as I expected but still a decent plate of chai tau kueh. Flavourful without being overwhelming.

When 1 + 1 is more than 2! The fried carrot cake here is on point - fragrant, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside👏🏻
