Most people have tried Fried carrot cake or Chai Tow Kway as this is a popular hawker food. Have you tried this deep-fried version?
This version is a common street snack known mostly to older generation of Singaporeans. It has become a rarity in modern days.
Radish cake is made of radish and not carrot. The main ingredients of radish cake are radish and rice flour, this mixture is steamed in block, then cut into smaller pieces and deep-fry till golden in colour. Deep-frying gives the cake a golden crust.
Traditional deep-fried radish cakes are rectangular or triangular shapes. There are some innovative hawkers who cut it into sticks/fingers, making them look like local French Fries.
Unlike commercial ones, my version here has a delicate sweet taste of radish. They are cut into mini triangular shapes and deep fried till crispy on the outside and soft and chewy inside.
This homemade delicacy is a savoury and sinful treat.
