Is the Black Carrot Cake Worth the Extra Buck?
The “Sweet‑Tooth” Debate
People argue whether the extra sweet black sauce actually justifies the jump in price. Some think the price hike is a bit fishy, while others are happy to pay the extra.
Behind the Black Sauce
A 60‑year‑old stall owner at Ang Mo Kio’s Teck Ghee Court explains:The sauce isn’t just any sweet glaze — it costs $10 per bottle.“If I price it the same as the white version, I’ll lose money,” she says.The sauce also uses a special fish sauce different from most stalls.
The Customer Love‑Story
How Others See It
Other hawkers claim there’s no big cost difference between the two versions, so they keep the prices identical.“Both flavours are equally popular, so why split the price?” they say.
Bottom Line
The owner thinks the extra price won’t bother fans because the cake is homemade and unique.“If they don’t want to pay the little extra for something so special, that’s their call.”So, should you splurge on the black carrot cake? The answer depends on your taste ribs and your love for a little extra “sweet‑tooth” indulgence.
