Khanom phak kaat is the right name. And yes, no pak kaat. No idea why. It’s radish cake, and the dish, I believe, is originally from China.

The picture of khanom phak kaat
looks like a version of “fried carrot/turnip/radish cake”,
a dish found in some Chinese eateries in Asia.
One of the cake’s ingredient is white radish/turnip–hence the name.
Carrot cake is usually sold deep-fried, without being stir-fried with other ingredients.
It can be found in traditional markets, dimsum restaurants
& coffee shops in Chinese-populated places.
