Original Changi Ten Mile Fried Carrot Cake

Mr Quek Sio Tee has been selling carrot cake since the 1950s. He began frying it back in the kampong with his brother before moving into a hawker centre at Bedok. There, he continues to dish out his signature black and white carrot cake ($4), but his old age and weak knees make it difficult for him to stand behind a stove all day. Luckily, he has a protégé. His daughter, Elenda Quek, left her job as a teacher to continue the family business. And together with her mother and cousins, the family now runs six different hawker stalls, all selling the same carrot cake that the elder Quek used to prepare.
