Crispy fried carrot cake, white and black, at Tampines Round Market.
Xiong Kee Famous Carrot Cake is a Tampines Round Market stall that has earned its fame through consistently well-executed fried carrot cake, or chai tow kway. The stall serves both the white (original) and black (dark soy sauce) versions, each wok-fried with chai poh, eggs and spring onions to produce a plate that is crispy on the outside and soft within. The black version, with its sweet, caramelised soy sauce, is particularly beloved for the depth and richness it adds, while the white version lets the natural sweetness of the radish cake shine through. The stall is a fixture at Tampines Round Market, drawing a steady queue from the neighbourhood's residents who appreciate a reliable, satisfying plate of carrot cake for breakfast or lunch. The portions are generous, and the pricing is competitive. The wok hei is evident in every plate, a testament to the skill behind the stall. For fried carrot cake that Tampines residents swear by, Xiong Kee at Round Market is a neighbourhood gem. It is a classic, done with pride.Operating Hours

Takes more than 30 mins for ur order to be ready. Even though it was an off peak timing. Service was super slow and staff had poor attitude. Bedok outlet
Marcus
The best thing here is the HKM, and that is not saying much, the CKT is horribly sweet…CC is quite ok if they used a better TiPo. Horrible
Hafiz
They will pre packed the carrot cake and serve to you on the plate when u order. Carrot cake becomes soggy.

One of the best dark carrot cake. Surprisingly I like the chili by the side instead of frying together.
Pei Shan
The carrot cake is crispy on the outside and yet tender inside. For $3 a plate and still taste good. Is worth a meal.
