I’m back from a fantastic trip to Florence (and Pisa)… and all I want to do is to go back. I mean, everything was great – the food, the weather, the atmosphere… you name it, Florence had it. And for some reason, our appetites doubled whilst we were there (perhaps a testament to the delicious food?), which led us to eat a ridiculous amount of food and gelato whilst we were there. But hey, it was a holiday so in my world it was a justified binge. 😀 I predictably took a whole load of photos, so do expect a few Florence related posts in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, I’ve written my first ever guest post for the lovely Bee of Rasa Malaysia. Her blog is fantastic, and is the place you want to go for tried and tested Malaysian and Chinese recipes and cooking tips – which explains why I was really excited when she invited me to write a guest post for her!
After much deliberation, I decided to write about yam cake, a savoury Malaysian kuih (snack). For the rest of the post, more photos and the recipe, please click HERE.

Sounds like you had a GREAT vacation. I could spend the rest of my life slurping through gelatos! Aaaah BLISS!
Congrats on doing a guest post for Rasa malaysia; what an honour! Am off to check it out!
Big hugs to you!! xo
I know, gelatos are the best thing e-vah. 😀 So glad you liked the post!
Beautiful and most enticing photos of the Yam Cake. I definitely have to try this recipe soon.
Hi Ken, thanks so much for the compliment. Do try it out, and I hope it turns out well.
Mmmmmmmm… gelato! =) Can’t wait to see your photos.
This yam cake sounds interesting, never tried it. Love the colours in that photo – good combo!
Congrats on your first ever guest post, just heading over there now!
Excited about Friday – yay! x
I know! Friday is only 2 days away now 😀
Glad you like the photos.
Thanks for guest posting. I got some yam in the fridge so I will definitely try out your grandmother’s recipe. Love the measurement ratio, brilliant!
Thanks again.
XO.
You’re very welcome, and thank you for inviting me to guest post. 🙂 Happy or kuih-ing, I hope it turns out well! x
If I go to your ward, do I get yam cake?
Are you sure you want to walk the long walk to my ward? 😛
If I get yam cake, yeah 😉
Congrats on the guest posting on Rasa Malaysia!
I know, that’s why I’m glad I traveled abroad to pursue my college degree … got to be away from home, my once-comfort zone, just to realize we love to cook and bake!! We’re foodies!!
I actually prefer taro cake/kuih to daikon cake/kuih … Dunno why … Haha! Yours look like the one I’ve known since young. 😉
Oh I much prefer yam cake to daikon cake too… I suspect it’s because of the amount of dried prawns in the yam cake. Haha!
Congrats on the guest post on Rasa Malaysia! It looks awesome! 🙂
Thanks S! 🙂 It was such a good experience guest posting for Bee.
