I am neither Liu Bei(劉備) nor Zhang Liang(張良) but...

Why did I wrote such a strange title for this post? This is because Liu Bei(劉備), a warlord, military general and later the founding emperor of the state of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history, had made 3 visits to the place where Zhu Ge Liang(諸葛亮) was staying before he had an audience with him. Same goes for Zhang Liang(張良), a strategist and statesman of the early Han Dynasty, it took him 3 visits to the same bridge before he was given the book 'The Art of War by Taigong'. Similar to Liu Bei and Zhang Liang, I had made 3 trips to this market, and I finally get the chance to taste this delicious food.:D

As usual... photos comes first.

Woo... the shape looks nice and it looks like a cake. So what is this dish?


This is the one. This is known as a 'Yam Cake'. Although, this is pretty
common dish that you can find in most of the markets in Singapore,
it isn't that easy to find a store that makes it into a heavenly dish.
The 'Yam Cake' of this store was neither too soft or too hard and the
taste of the yam comes with every single bite from the 'Yam Cake'.
And the chilli that comes with the 'Yam Cake' was a +++.


This is the store behind this heavenly dish, besides selling 'Yam Cakes', various
kinds of kuehs that are meant for Breakfast. So where was this store located?
This store is located on the 2nd floor of Taman Jurong Market and Food Centre.

This was indeed a challenge to me, as travelling to and fro the market takes a bit of time.
Especially, when it was a disappointed trip, that makes it even harder for me to continue.
But the achievement was a memorable one. :D

Some notes to remember:
  • The store closes at/before 12 noon.
  • Try to be there before 11 as the store owner had mentioned that they will close for the day, once all the food had been sold out.
