Michelin Bib Gourmand stall famed for pan-fried radish cake with a crisp underside.
Chey Sua Carrot Cake at Toa Payoh West Market & Food Centre has earned Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition for its expertly pan-fried radish cake. The stall offers both white and black versions — the latter tossed in sweet dark soy — but the real draw is the contrast between the soft, wobbly interior and the golden, crisp crust on one side. Regulars queue patiently for a plate, often specifying just how much crispiness they prefer. It is a masterclass in hawker simplicity: few ingredients, flawless execution and a texture that keeps locals coming back.Based on 438 Google reviews
