Sorry for the one month’s absence. I have not enjoyed or tried any dishes that was worth posting about, thus, the reason for the lack of post. Anyway, today I would like to share with you our local favourite cake, The Nyonya Yam Cake Recipe. It was my mom’s first attempt and the result was pretty good, if I may say so. Take a look for yourself!
Right side is what it looks like before garnishing is added

200 g rice flour

For Garnishing
Dried shrimps, minced garlic, oil, diced red chilli, fried shallot and diced spring onion (which we ran out of and did not include it)
