My friend brought up a very good hypothesis. She said perhaps love is like carrot cake. The English carrot cake is sweet, nice and creamy, partaken normally during Christmas or wedding feasts. The more you eat it, the nicer it gets, until you want to eat it everyday.
The Asian carrot cake, on the other hand, is made almost entirely of flour, eggs and radish, with a choice of black or white, with or without chilli, and looks good to eat initially, but the more you eat, the more sick of it you get, so it cannot be eaten daily.
She said finding a partner is like eating carrot cake. You will want to find someone who is like the English carrot cake, someone you can face everyday, and the love just grows even if you see each other day in day out for the rest of your lives. If you find someone like the Asian carrot cake, who just looks good initially, then it is best not to be with this person, as sooner or later you will get sick of him / her.
Interesting theory if you ask me. But for me, I will want both, since I like both types, so I am willing to risk the good and the bad together. Although recent events have shown that I seem to have too much of the Asian carrot cake already, so perhaps it is time to bring my delectable taste buds to the English carrot cake.
The best English carrot cake is sold in The Coffee Club at Hotel Rendezvous. The best Asian carrot cake? Almost every hawker centre in your neighbourhood sells pretty good ones. A symbolism of where you can find the two different types of carrot cake people – those who are like the English carrot cakes are normally found in higher-class places, whereas those who are like the Asian carrot cake are normally those more uncouth people mostly found among mainstream heartlanders. (Note : keyword - "normally")
On the other hand, English carrot cake is expensive, and to partake it everyday simply costs too much. Asian carrot cake is more affordable and can be partaken everyday if you are not picky. Thus, the English carrot cake is best for those once-in-a-while fancies and surges when you want a one-off good thing, and it is often not available at certain times. The Asian carrot cake is always available (if you know where to find it), and it can be perfected after some fine-tuning.
The English carrot cake is good for showing off and have a good time with, but it may be too sweet and sticky for some people. But the Asian carrot cake, despite its simplicity, leaves a good taste in people’s mouths.
So which type is better? You decide.

My my... people can read too deeply into this :P
Anyway, my current favorite Carrot cake is from Jeffery's Corner at Jurong Point 3rd floor food court.
And seems you're learning from a certain blue, spiky hedgehog about disclaimers. Good for ya!
This takes the cake for the strangest metaphor.
Ole Wolvie : It is better to have a disclaimer in case people misinterpret what I say. I do not wish to be misunderstood for nothing.
Cowboy Caleb : Thanks!
