Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

We think Yuan Cheng Fried Carrot Cake stands out for its dry, chunky style, which allows the natural flavour of the radish cake to shine through.

Many appreciate the generous amount of cai por and garlic, and the balanced sweetness in the black version, which avoids being overly cloying.

The option for 'Ebony and Ivory' (black and white mixed) is a popular choice for those wanting to experience both styles, with prices ranging from $3.50 to $5.

While some note the white version can be very crispy, others have found it less so, possibly due to sitting time.

The stall is known for its friendly elderly couple who manage orders and frying with a personal touch.

We'd recommend going before 10 am to avoid the significant queues that form, especially around lunchtime.

It's a solid choice for those who prefer a less sweet, more savoury and textural carrot cake.

What customers say

Yuan Cheng Fried Carrot Cake is highly praised for its dry, chunky carrot cake with distinct wok hei, generous eggs, and balanced sweetness, particularly the black version.

Customers appreciate the friendly elderly couple running the stall, though some note the white carrot cake isn't always crispy.

Expect long queues, especially after 10 am, but the efficient and personable service from the 'auntie chef' is a highlight.
