Lagoon Famous Carrot Cake is a long-standing stall at East Coast Lagoon Food Village with a heritage of over fifty-five years, having first opened by the Ang family in a back alley in MacPherson before relocating in 1979. The stall serves fried carrot cake in both white and black versions, using springy cubes of radish cake pan-fried with eggs and chye poh. The white version features a slightly crispy egg coating, while the black rendition carries a pleasant sweetness from the added dark sauce. Both come topped with small springy prawns and chopped spring onions. Beyond carrot cake, the stall has won Best of the Best popiah at the City Hawker Food Hunt, with rolls packed full of radish, carrot, egg, grated peanuts, bean sprouts, and tiny crab roll bits. Lagoon Famous Carrot Cake is a must-visit for anyone exploring East Coast Lagoon Food Village, offering two iconic hawker dishes under one roof.Operating Hours

Date of visit: Sat 13 July 2024 Time : 8.50 pm Really crowded this hawker centre. Ordered the usual white carrot cake with chili. Taste just as good! Last visit: Usually come here for late dinner and try this carrot cake, the white version. Our recent visit post Covid was last week in mid Sep 2022. It tasted good, but just not as good as before. It was crispier and tastier then.

Prefer the white version. Good plate of carrot cake. Love the popiah although its slight sweeter than I would like.
Jin Wei
Delicious though you might need to wait for awhile. They don’t do buzzers.
Siti Nurhaliza
Pretty good plate of black carrot cake, not as sweet tasting compared to other stores I’ve tried in the past. FYI store only accepts cash.
Wei Lin
It is normal, nothing impressive. The popiah was spicy, which cover the taste of popiah. Carrot cake for the black was still consider ok, but is on the sweet side. The white carrot cake was just normal.
