Steamed Yam Biscuit


Sunny

This is an interesting brand with foothold in China, Taiwan, Singapore. Your favourite chinese desserts bean curd or yam in the form of thins.


The arched logo, fat fonts and muted picture promising enough of an old traditional shophouse, where you can sit down and nurse bowls of handmade dessert made from a heritage. If you notice the package, the yam biscuits are a light greyish(!) purplish hue.

When you lug them home, there is already this sweet aroma of yam or pandan, that makes your place smell like it is constantly baking vanilla. Textured and heavily dusted in aroma, they provide a tactile sense to your eating, the baked yam flavour condensed and ending up in crisp, quick bites.

P.S. The biscuit itself is actually very light, and on the savoury side despite its fragrance. Even though it is yam, it is such a mellow or neutral one in a compelling biscuit base, hence people who don't like yam will also adore it for a biscuit. One also likes that the biscuit is so thin, your molars can grind on it until it develops into an intense, roasted wheat flavour, perfect for lingering in that slow afternoon.
