Specialized chai tao kway stall perfecting white and black fried carrot cake with crispy textures and authentic Singaporean flavors.
Hua Li Fried Carrot Cake at Marsiling Mall Hawker Centre represents the continuation of a beloved Singapore hawker tradition, serving authentic chai tow kway (fried carrot cake) from their established stall at #01-24 after successfully relocating from their previous checkpoint location to maintain their loyal customer base. This traditional establishment has earned recognition among Singaporean food enthusiasts for their commitment to preserving the authentic flavors and cooking techniques that make fried carrot cake such a cherished part of local culinary heritage, ensuring that each plate delivers the distinctive taste and texture that generations of families have come to expect from quality hawker preparation.
The stall specializes in traditional fried carrot cake featuring soft, springy cubes of radish cake that are expertly stir-fried to achieve the perfect balance of textures, with some pieces developing a slight char that provides the distinctive wok hei (breath of wok) flavor that distinguishes superior hawker cooking. Each serving includes scattered chai po (preserved radish) pieces that add savory depth and complexity, while generous portions of egg coating and carefully balanced chili sauce provide additional layers of flavor and heat that complement the main ingredients beautifully, with portions starting at that make this traditional comfort food accessible to students, families, and working professionals throughout the northern Singapore region.
Despite mixed opinions from different food reviewers, which is common for traditional hawker dishes where personal preferences and expectations vary significantly, Hua Li Fried Carrot Cake continues to attract devoted customers who appreciate the stall's consistency and authentic preparation methods, particularly longtime patrons who followed them from their previous location. The stall's presence within Marsiling Mall's diverse hawker center adds to the authentic Singapore dining experience, where traditional foods prepared with genuine care and attention to heritage cooking methods remain accessible to all members of the community, ensuring that classic hawker dishes continue to thrive alongside newer culinary innovations in Singapore's evolving food landscape.

No option to give 3.5 stars. Had the white carrot cake. Sides were a little crispy (小爽)and it has wok hey taste. Portion can be bigger. Overall not bad. Read reviews the black carrot cake is good, can try that next time!

Bought their white carrot cake for $3.80. Their sign board wrote top 10 biggest carrot cake in Singapore. The carrot cake is the big chunk variety but then it is really not the largest but I guess with most of the carrot cake being small chunk it is not difficult to be in the top 10. The only good thing I feel is a chili. Crispiness was way below par. While the texture has an unpleasant greasiness to the soggy carrot cake. Taste wise was still okay on the saltier side with occasion pieces with nice char taste.

Not the best hokkien noodle and fry kueh tiaw I ever had in Marsiling area Hokkien noodle - the ingredients many, but the taste not there. Can't really taste the prawn broth.. I like the noodles size and thick beehon type of hokkien noodle....portion huge Kueh tiaw - I thibk its equivalent to the economy kueh tiaw stall standards. The only diff are ingredients. Come with chinese sausage.. but not that fragrance type sausage... portion huge

Came for an afternoon break. Ordered their white carrot cake for $3.50 with chilli. The version of their carrot cake is with soft eggs and chilli added into the carrot cake not on the side. Light egg fragrance and soft eggs from their white version. Though the spiciness level is not specified, I do feel some punch. I should add more on my next visit. Overall a good plate of white carrot cake. Will be back for other dishes.

Stall serving Fried Carrot Cake, Fried Oyster eggs & Fried Kway Teow. Should be the best in this Hawker Ctr as the waiting time is usually around 15min, even though there are two cooks an assistant.

One of the longest waiting time ever! The carrot cake is on the sweeter side and tastes old school. Will definitely be back to try the oyster omelette next.

A well executed plate of carrot cake. Kway was soft. Touch of caramelization though lacking in preserved radish which would have added another dimension.
Uncle Kiang
$5 plate, overall a good plate of fried carrot cake as you expected. Why 4 stars is due to the sad reason now a days it’s harder to find a good plate with taste and texture right. There is 3 stores (at least) selling carrot cake, might update again after I try all. However, I feel the ”菜圃”a bit weak。 Go try Lorong 8 Toa Payoh for a plate with fantastic “菜圃”

The black fried carrot cake looks unassuming but it is delicious. It would have been perfect if it was less sweet and preserved vegetable added to this dish and has wok hei but it is good enough as it is especially for $3.50. Service is a little slow because it is operated by three elderly ladies but they were flexible when I changed my order from eating there to packing back.
