Carrot Cake Okomiyaki

We take the a traditional Singaporean favourite and added a few elements from the okonomiyaki. The shredded cabbage lends a crunch to the texture while the addition of a batter transforms the carrot cake into a crispy pancake while retaining the original flavours that brings together the sweet, salty and spicy that all Singaporeans are familiar with.
