On 20July 2010, My friends & I went to the food fair at clarke quay.
We tried different food and snacks which originated from different dialects.
Out of which, i chose 2 which were my favourite.
~ TuTu Kueh (Hokkein)
-TuTu Kueh is a chinese sweet snack originated from the Hokkiens .
The skin is made of a rice flour and for the fillings you can choose from 2 traditional fillings: Peanut or coconut . But in the modern society, there are some stalls that even puts chocolate in it! It is steamed and just after a few minutes it is done! It is placed on a pandan leave(to enhance the fragrant) and served. And the fillings are usually generously added. I paid $2 for 4, which i thought was quite reasonably priced. It was really nice when eaten hot and fresh... this is one of my favourite street snack.
~Fried Carrot Cake(Teochew)
-Fried carrot cake is a dish originated from the teochews.
It is carrot cake fried with egg on top and then garnished with spring onions. This was something i called 'the best one', reasons being, the egg was crispy but in the inside it is still moist. It is fried with garlic and 'chye poh' (a kind of preserved veggie), to add more flavour to it. I paid $3 for this, the price is around the same as those in hawker centres. Fried Carrot Cake has always been one of my favourite dish of all time and this was definitely a good try. It wasnt too salty neither was it too burnt.
This trip to the food fair was definitely worth it. I got to try some food which i had never tasted before and got to know more about the food from different dialects.
