Chey Sua Carrot Cake - Michelin Bib Gourmand Carrot Cake

 The Michelin Guide has long been regarded as the world's foremost authority of culinary merit. To win a Michelin one-star is a cause for celebration and to win a Michelin three-star is next to impossible. 

So far I have already reviewed Kok Sen, New Ubin Seafood (Hillview), Ash & Elm, Master Tang Wontan Mee, Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle, Man Man Unagi Restaurant and Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle, 

Most Michelin-starred restaurants charges hefty prices thanks to the prestige the Michelin guide has bestowed upon them. I may not have the money to try out the Michelin three-starred restaurants, I am going to try out the Michelin Bib Gourmand food establishments. Bib Gourmand are awarded to “good quality, good value restaurants”. Most of the Bib Gourmand award winners in Singapore are hawkers and small restaurants which are not too expensive. I am going to embark on a Michelin Bib Gourmand eating spree, giving my two-cents worth on these “famed” restaurants and hawkers. 

Chey Sua Carrot Cake - Stall Front

Chey Sua Carrot Cake’s obscure location at Toa Payoh Lorong 1 Food Centre has not deterred foodies from all around Singapore from flocking to it. After it was listed in Singapore Michelin Bib Gourmand 2016 and 2017, the queue just got longer. 

When I arrived on a weekday afternoon, I thought luck was on my side when I saw there was no queue in front of Chey Sua Carrot Cake. The stall owner’s “must wait for half an hour ah!” shattered my fantasy. As I glanced around, I realized that every table within a one-mile radius is waiting for their Chey Sua Carrot Cake. 

Chey Hua Carrot Cake - Carrot Cake

Chey Sua Carrot Cake only sells “white” carrot cake, “black” carrot cake with sweet dark sauce is not available. The carrot cake is available in 3 sizes - $2.50, $3 and $4. 

Two sisters, Grace and Shirley, man the stall. Chey Sua Carrot Cake is one of the few carrot cake stalls that makes their own carrot cake. The carrot cake is made with white radish and flour. The mixture is first steamed and then cut into cubes. These cubes are then fried with eggs and preserved radish. It is a laborious process which makes a plate of their carrot cake all the more meaningful. 

Chey Sua’s carrot cake are fried in rectangular blocks. The outside is crispy brown while the inside is soft and moist. Factory-made carrot cake tend to have a firmer texture.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
