Delicious Eating House

I woke up this morning craving for yam cake.

And this is the only place you should get yours if you have a craving too.

Thick and generous yam chunks, tender yam cake . I make my own yam cake too so I know how much work it takes and how much yam you need to produce such a good yam cake.

Have eaten here for years and the auntie’s hospitality never fails to touch my heart ❤️.

Paired with her homemade chilli which is a healthier version made without bleachan.

Do try her home made vegetable chee Cheong fun too - really interesting and tasty combination ( think popiah fillings with chee Cheong fun)

Her yam cake is available for pre order for Chinese New Year and it makes a nice gift .

Sold per tray at 60 dollars ( 30 pieces per tray ).
Be sure to get some of that delectable home made chilli too .

Was treated to this really good yam cake thanks to @michelin5!! Was also so amused that this stall is so near where I live, but I’ve never noticed it before 😂 The yam cake here was generously packed of yam and I love that it’s not fully mashed up, so you still get some chunky bits here and there - totally unlike the doughy, cakey kind! On the side was a very tasty homemade sambal ikan bilis chilli that went great with the yam cake.

In a small hidden coffee shop at Blk 19 Toh yi drive ( near 7-11) is this stall sharing a stall with a chicken rice stall that sells homemade yam cake and a host of other savoury Kuehs .

The homemade yam cake is the best - generous use of yam , non greasy and a good accompanying homemade ikan billis chilli that doesn’t use belacan given the stall owner’s choice of preparing healthier food for her customers. This is the best yam cake I have ever tasted - it doesn’t require all of that waxed sausage or mushroom - just lots of yammy goodness .

This stall also does a good Cheong fun ( the thicker rice rolls with homemade fillings ). Special mention to the turnip rice rolls .

The stall owner also does a very good White fungus and peach Reisin dessert which is so soothing for the throat .

Don’t leave the stall without a box of her homemade sambal ikan billis chill.

Yam cake lovers alert 🚨!!!!!
Coffee shop next toh yi drive

In a pretty vibrant coffee shop known to its residents in toh yi drive is a breakfast stall ( that’s next to the chicken rice stall ) that has been my to- go place for a what I call the best yam cake ever 🤗

I love cooking and I know how much work and ingredients is required to make a good yam cake and that’s why I am telling you that you need to go experience this yourself .... it is sooooooo good. It is extremely good . I assure you - it will be worth all the travelling .

The yam cake is so full of authentic yam ( some mashed within and some left unmasked for you to savour ) . Paired with a homemade ikan billis chilli sambal type chilli that is purely homemade - you can’t ask for anything more .

She has a unique chee cheong fun that is filled with savoury turnips and carrots and then rolled up which is also really lovely .

This morning she was so Glad that I came by because she wanted to share her homemade black sesame powder which she liberally sprinkled on my yam cake and chee cheong fun and I actually liked the combination you know 👧🏻👧🏻👧🏻 ...

Her Hokkien Bak Zhang and nonya Zhangs are also popular.

Be sure to beat the crowd by arriving early 😊😊

Very very very very very good yam cake

Have you ordered yam cakes and left completely disgusted with an a purple coloured “ flour cake” loaded with msg and artificial colouring ?

That’s the reason why I only get my yam cakes from this place.

In a discreet coffee shop at Blk 19 toh Yi drive ( just next to 7-11), there’s a humble stall with a lovely motherly lady owner Who has been selling high quality yam cakes , chee cheong fun , rice dumplings and her home made “Hae bee bian “ ( made with ikan billis ) for the past 21 years.

It is a short walk from Bukit Timah Hawker centre and I am Glad that I able to come visit her stall this morning. She still remembers me as the lady who made the almond paste for her 😊 ( our secret pact 🤣🤣🤣)

The yam cake is so jam filled with yam - you sometimes wonder how she can even cover her costs. It is served at the right temperature - neither too hot or too cold and that speaks a lot about the owner’s knowledge about food . Kuehs like yam cakes when served too hot , disintegrates easily and is sticky and when served too cold , doesn’t bring out the flavour .

As if the yam cake on its own wasn’t already heavenly enough , she goes the extra mile in serving her home made “ Hae bee hiam” which is uniquely made without Hae bee alongside her yam cake. With an additional touch of sweet sauce ( and not a huge gallon like what most stalls do outside ), this yam cake is really the best yam cake in Singapore 😊 ( alongside the standards of le Tian Tian at Bukit Timah plaza ) - only that this is more affordable .

What’s more , I like the morning vibes of sitting in a coffee shop and the sight of families coming together for breakfast leisurely is just such a joy .

You should also give her rice dumplings and her Chwee kueh a try because they are all good 😊 but the champion is still the yam cake and as I type this , I am contemplating ordering another huge piece 🤣 after walloping one . The auntie was indeed so sweet by offering me an additional chee kueh as an appreciation of our friendship 😊

You will be pleased to know that within the same coffee shop is also a stall specialising in breakfast bee hoon ( both white and brown ) and breakfast noodles which has a huge following and a stall selling pretty good chicken rice :)

The coffee shop is comfortable to sit in because it is airy and clean and the best way that I would like to spend each morning ( if only it is was nearer to where I live ) 😊

Lovely. Morning vibes 🤗 !

I continue to do so tho in my search for the elusive dish. Imagine my surprise when this plate came. It wasn't just a yellowish syrup that tastes faintly salty. There was actual salted egg and lumps of it can still be seen on the plate. The pork chop was crispy and tender. This, is the real deal. And the best part? Less than a 10mins walk from home.
