As a self-taught home cook, I cannot remember how many times I tried making this. I was determined to learn to cook this, not only because this is one of my favourite food but also because good traditional food are slowly disappearing.
This is one of those versatile food that you can eat for breakfast, as a snack or even serve as a light lunch.
A good yam cake should be light and fluffy and filled with chunks of yam in every bite. A feature of home-made yam cake is you get lots and lots of yam chunks, you have the luxury to add more condiments such as dried shrimps, dried mushroom and Chinese sausages.
Although I have since learnt to make this cake successfully, I made this normally around Chinese New Year. This is one of those Chinese New Year food that you can prepare in advance and consume during those busy days of hosting or visiting friends, and when you are too tired to cook.
This is truly a local delicacy.
