When you google for carrot cake probably you will get two versions of it. One is the sweet carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and the other one is the savory version which is stir fried with egg omelette.

I was a runner up in Singapore's Masterchef Competition Season 2. Cooking has been a passion of mine since I was young. I would always follow my grandma to the wet markets to buy groceries and watch her whip up amazing dishes. Always inspired by my grandma, I look to continue her journey in the culinary world.
