Скачать или смотреть $5 Michelin recognised Carrot Cake at Newton Food Centre 🇸🇬

Stop 33 of my Michelin Munch journey takes me back to Newton Food Centre, one of Singapore’s most iconic hawker destinations, to visit HENG, a Michelin-recognised stall that’s been serving carrot cake and oyster omelette since 1971. Famous for its no-nonsense name and serious frying skills, HENG is a must-visit for anyone exploring authentic Singapore hawker food.

In this episode, I dive deep into one of Singapore’s most misunderstood dishes: chai tow kway, better known as carrot cake. Spoiler alert, it’s neither cake nor carrot. Made from steamed white radish and stir-fried with eggs, preserved radish (chai poh) and garlic, HENG takes things further by steaming their own radish in-house, creating larger, softer pieces with better texture and flavour. I ordered a mixed plate of black and white carrot cake, plus their oyster omelette, and waited patiently through the 30–40 minute cook time that proves everything is made fresh to order.

The black carrot cake brings smoky sweetness and serious wok heyyyyy thanks to caramelised soy sauce, while the white version lets the radish shine. But the real standout here might be the oyster omelette, easily one of the best I’ve had so far on this series. With less starch in the batter, you get more crisp, less goo, and big, juicy oysters that pack a punch. Everything is finished with a generous serving of tangy chilli that ties the whole experience together.

If you’re looking for one of the best carrot cakes in Singapore, a top-tier oyster omelette, or simply want to explore Michelin-recognised hawker stalls, HENG at Newton Food Centre deserves a spot on your food list.

HENG is not just good.
HENG IS PENG.
