Harvesting daikon or white radish

Today, we start to harvest the radish or daikon as it is known in Japanese from our little garden. As we have lots of the daikon, we gave them away freely. The daikon is sold cheaply in the supermarket because of its abundance. It is in season now and a slightly bigger one than that in the photo above cost 99 Yen or about $1.30. Our daikon like the one above weighs about 1.5 kg.
Daikon or white radish is used to make the famous Singapore carrot cake or chay tow kway (pic below).

Harvesting daikon

We harvested 5 pieces of daikon (radish) from our garden.
This type of daikon is used for the "chye tai kueh" or fried carrot cake in SG. We gave away 4 to friends and kept one for ourselves. Daikon is usually grown in cool weather like now (autumn) whereby the temperature ranges from 12c to 16c.
The potatoes will be harvested during the colder months in January and February.

Breakfast at Buangkok MRT Station

Being a Saturday, we were pleasantly surprised to find Kopitiam at Buangkok mrt station not very crowded. We decided to eat over there. The dishes shown above were all from Kopitiam. 

Carrot cakes in Singapore

This is the "white" carrot cake. Basically, there are 2 types, one is the "white" and the other is the "black" (colour is due to the black sweet sauce) carrot cake.
I had the above from a stall near Jalan Kayu. It's quite good and prepared by a relatively young Malaysian man. The small serving like the one above is $3.
