REVIEW TIME

We tried the carrot and pumpkin flavors, and am glad to give them a thumbs up!

We liked the homemade and wholesome taste of the carrot cakes. We enjoyed the generous amount of ingredients like radish strands, dried shrimp, mushroom & Chinese sausage. Each mouthful was a medley of textures and flavors.

Stored in airtight container, the cakes can keep in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for 2 weeks (note: keeping in the freezer, texture will change a little)

You can choose to either steam or pan-fry. I chose to pan-fry for that extra kick from the lightly-charred skin.

My favorite of the two is the carrot flavor as I felt the taste of the individual ingredients came together better in this version.

Amelia’s homemade carrot cake would make a good breakfast, or perhaps a teatime snack to reward yourself in between zoom calls on your wfh days.

Or if you are looking for a bigger meal (lunch/ dinner) at home, check out other local delights you can whip up yourself, ranging from meals that need zero effort, to meals that need a little bit of effort. Or just head out for Dim Sum.

HOW TO ORDER
