Boon Lay Fried Carrot Cake & Kway Teow Mee

What caught my eye to try out this stall was probably due to Ben Yeo's face on the Channel U sticker. I got to admit that the feature on television channels for these hawker stalls, do tempt me in giving a shot at what they offer!

Boon Lay Fried Carrot Cake & Kway Teow Mee
Fried Carrot Cake ($3)
We ordered the Yin Yang (black and white) Fried Carrot Cake which cost $3 instead of $2.50 for one colour (so as to judge better in an economical way). Apparently, the uncle whom chatted with us claims that only at his stall will you get Yin Yang style carrot cake. Really? o_O

The black version tasted alright but the white did not pass my standard. Both black and white carrot cake were too dry for our liking as well.

Hmmmm....
Probably due to the change in hands at the frying wok (currently daughter taking over business), the statement "Famous Char Kway from Jurong 13th Mile since 1956" didn't quite match the standard of the fried carrot cake now..

Fried Kway Teow Mee ($2.50)
On the other hand, their Fried Kway Teow Mee was delicious! Theirs is a drier version of Fried Kway Teow that tasted sweet and flavourful. The kway teow they use is also thinner and we were told by the uncle that they are the first and only stall in Singapore to put pork floss - top grade one somemore!

Although they stated closing time as 11.30pm, the stall was still in business when we were there at 12am. Like any other hawker stalls in Singapore, operating hours are flexible and depends on the business or personal preference of the hawkers I guess. I read somewhere online that their carrot cake is available throughout the day while fried kway teow mee is available only at night.

Since their Fried Carrot Cake is only average, just try your luck for good Fried Kway Teow Mee at night!
