Chai Tow Kway Recipe (Singapore Carrot Cake)
Here is a simple Singapore Carrot Cake Recipe - a white version. I believe you might have seen a golden brownish carrot cake. Well, the one ingredient that made the difference is the fish sauce. If you use dark sweet soy sauce instead, then the chai tow kway will be golden brown.

500ml Water
200g Raddish Shredded
200g Rice Flour
(White version)
