Steamed Yam Cake.

My nephew (husband side) gave me this recipe.

Today, I did two round trays....and you must be thinking

that I am crazy but I need to give to my sister-in-law staying in Puchong,

my neighbour and lastly my colleague.

I am so happy to share my yummy Steamed Yam Cake with

those people that I loved and liked.

Once done, let it cool at room temperature.

Sprinkle the Steamed Yam Cake with those garnishing.

Isn't it is lovely to eat....yummy......with sweet sauce or chilli.

My husband said the texture is a bit hard and my kids said ok.

Tomorrow, will blog the comment from my sister in law

and colleague.

(Comment from my sister in law and colleagues - taste good

but a bit hard....so my conclusion for next try....cut down the

Wheat Flour to 80g)

To me.....soft or a bit hard....I am ok to it because the taste

is better than outside store.
