I love those (red & white) spicy and salty style from Batu Pahat, Johor style. This is a must have food when i am back to hometown. Any idea where in Klang valley i can find these.

Commonly found in KL are the black, sweet style.

most dim sum shop shud hav, no?

This is also one increasingly hard to find good ones, just like the 'woon chai ko'. I love them fried with egg with a tinge of 'choy poh' flavour and crunchy bean sprouts. But so hard to find nice ones. Probably because nowadays the radish cake is supplied rather than self made.

only tried at sogo and pavilion food court..
i love carrot cake..
but its hard to find good one and HALAL....

u mean radish cake, dry like s'pore style?

They are used to say 'carrot cake' nowadays because of one supplier who described it as 'carrot cake'. He supply's the radish cake and even sets up the stalls for interested hawkers to operate. I think he has quite a number of outlets and has posters describing it as 'carrot cake'. Probably because the only 'lopak' they know how to translate is red 'lopak' but they didn't know there's another white 'lopak' called radish which is the actual main ingredient.

I LOVE THIS DISH MANN!!! ESPECIALLY LOVE THE ONE FROM MY KAMPUNG (PONTIAN, JOHOR)


This is the sweet sweet type with egg, chilli and dried carrot and garlic.

I prefer this more than this, which is more common in klang valley:

Difference is they use bean sprouts and is saltier.

Yes, Singapore can find this easily.

Yan-Yan restaurant used to serve one of the best chow lobak kao last time. I stopped going there for sometime now dunno whether their chow lobak kao improve liao or not. otherwise Dragon Imperial Dim Sum in Bdr Puteri also good.

BTW, Chai Tow Kwai is only used in Southern Malaysia, in the Northern Malaysia...It's called "Kuih Kak" ..Chai tow Kuih in Northern is those plain type.

most pasar malam n pasar not nice.
the best is the Dim Sum shop in SS2/24 (end of ESH electrical shop)
formerly Sri Siam

I tried 2 months ago, still good

That dim sum shop is a branch of Yuen Garden (Bandar Puchong Jaya)

The lobakko is nice, I like it too, I feel its one of the better ones around.



Personally I love the black ones of the south with sweet sauce, like in Johor / Singapore but they dont sell it here.

Near SS2 Maxis also have one Dim Sum restaurant that sells this

Taiping style Chai Tow Kuih...(Not my image copy from motormouth blog here http://j2kfm.blogspot.com/2008/06/taiping-...way-finale.html
Haha..he dunno what this thing called in Taiping



Their similar to Central & Southern style Chai tow kuih is "Kuih Kak"

Yes, i'm going to have this in Batu Pahat tomorrow...yummy yummy. The white colour style.

One thing unique on the Southern style fried raddish cake- They add the pink sweet saurce..well not all & probably nowadays getting lesser doing this

Glad i try tapau back from Batu Pahat, keep in freezer. Then defrost using microwave and fried it again...add egg. Taste good.

The best one and closest to Penang's Koay Kak in terms of taste and presentation is the one in Pudu wai sek kai. Be prepared to line up and wait on weekends. On weekdays this stall is like the wind sometimes he is open sometimes he is close. This stall is run by three brothers.

Actually the food in the Pudu Wai Sek Kai is good. Famous are the Koay Kak, Chee Cheong Fun, Yam cakes and fried chicken. For all the items mention be prepared to line up and wait on weekends.

I just love eating in the back lanes... gives an authentic feel to hawker food.

BTW sorry its non-halal
