Chinese delights: Steamed Yam/Taro cake 芋頭糕

Is it Yam? Or Taro? Or Yam? Despite growing up with ‘Yam’, for the sake of the blog being based in Australia, I’m going to go with Taro. But really, this is what we are talking about: And it is most definitely not sweet potatoes, so hopefully you won’t get confused by the usage of Yam [...]

Top 10 Singaporean /Malaysian Delights to Eat.

This post isn’t actually in my blogging calendar. But I ran out of time to write up these week’s posts, and one thing happened after another (don’t you just love how busy you get on holidays?) and one week went by with the blog staying quiet. So as an apology, I’ll try to show you [...]

Meatless Day Challenge #2: Fried Radish Cake / Chai Tao Kuey
