The perfect joint for a greedy glutton like me... Gluttons Bay down by the Esplanade Mall. This has fast become my favourite hawker centre – I know some people think it’s touristy (although I’ve never really seen many tourists there) and expensive, but compared to eating back home it’s cheap, and the food is so damn good, I for one will keep coming back for more.This time, we started off with sticky, smoky Barbecue Chicken Wings from Huat Huat Chicken Wings/Carrot Cake at Stall F, which really are finger-licking-good (sorry, Colonel) and some mixed Satays from Alhambra Padang Satay at Stall C . We swiftly followed this up with a selection of delectable dishes from Sew An Seafood Cze Cha at Stall H – Pork Ribs in Imperial Sauce, Sliced Fish in Ginger, Kang Kong with Garlic, Rice and washed it all down with a can of Tiger beer.
I also tried my first Carrot Cake – you know that thing that isn’t cake and isn’t made from carrots… it was pretty good, though I still don’t get the whole ‘carrot cake’ name for it…

carrot cake is actually made of chai po & radish. and radish is actually white carrot. so, from wat i heard is that, becuase white carrot in chinese is bai luo bo (literally white carrot), and so they call it carrot cake. note, there is 2 type of carrot cake. white and black. white is in a omelette shape. while black using dark sauce and is jumbled up in pcs.
