I don't usually enjoy yam rings because the yam usually turns out hard and lumpy and the batter crusty.

I did enjoy Wok Palace's mini yam rings though as the yam was lusciousy smooth, mildly sweet and earthy. The batter too was shattering crisp.

However, the pairing of yam with the scallops did not really click for me . I only noticed the scallop because I broke my yam ring up into smaller pieces. If you had eaten the mini yam ring in a mouthful, you would probably not notice the scallop due to the strong creamy and earthy flavours of the yam.

I think this dish would work better if the yam ring was served separately or without the scallop.
