Carrot Cake
Singapore
Despite the name, there is no carrot. The Hokkien name refers to the white radish used. Singapore's most misnamed hawker dish.
Singaporean chai tow kway — not a sweet cake but cubed radish cake stir-fried with egg, dark soy and spring onion. One of Singapore's most beloved hawker dishes.
