I used to be someone that loooves black carrot cake and my usual order is "hei de cai tau kway, yao hen hei hen hei, yi dian dian la jiao.黑的菜头果，要很黑很黑，一点点辣椒。"

i am someone that loves my cai tau kway very very black and sweet. however, as i grew older, my tastebuds started to change and i prefer trying the white version instead of the black ones nowadays. i am constantly on the lookout for nice white ones. some criteria that i think the white ones must possess. first of all, the outer surface must be crispy. secondly, the kway part of the cai tau kway must not be too soft or soggy.  thirdly, the cai poh (salted radish) must not be too little as thats the only thing that adds saltiness or taste to the dish. (unlike the black ones that can use the sweet sauce). so these are some that i can think of right now.

ive tried white cai tau kway from many different places but this one stands out because it fulfills all of the criteria that i mentioned and at the same time its value for money. you cant really find $2 meals anymore but this stall sells their cai tau kway at $2 for a generous portion. plus point is that the stall owner moves really fast and you dont have to wait very long for your food.
