Cooked this Yam dish recently ...... the meat has assumed the colour of the yam, so it's pretty difficult to distinguish the meat from the yam pieces, but nonetheless, this is a delicious dish, goes well with rice.
I love yam and can eat this on its own, more so if it's so creamy ........ Yummy!

It has to be a very delicious dish. I love the taste and flavour of yam. I think I will finish all the yam and leave the pork to someone else...haha

So do I, I prefer the yam rather the meat.

There's a Teochew dish something like this and it's sweet, think there's no meat, but creamy yam and it's a festive dish.
Oh wow, you've no idea how much I like yam! I just made some steamed yam cake the other day. And my stomach having problem with it. Not feeling well after taken it!

ReplyDeleteMaybe it's got 'angin'. Perhaps too filling.
Looks good - very filling meal!
