@solapislygood first started out as a business selling kueh lapis brought in from the owner's hometown of Kuching but quickly pivoted to a home-based business selling savoury birthday yam cakes using their family recipe following the COVID-19 outbreak.

Each of their birthday yam cakes go for $50, which is comparably pricier than ours. However, their cake uses premium Thai yam and is significantly denser and hefty compared to others.

They also do not contain mushrooms, lap cheong or haebi. It is therefore "heavier" on the palate which the crunchy and savoury chai poh (preserved radish) filling with hae bee hiam and shallots help to balance.

I personally prefer my yam cakes to be a little more savoury but I am sure the older folks will love the heavier "earthy" flavours of their cakes!

P.s. I am really grateful to the folks at SoLapislyGood for accommodating my last-minute order and we love how they decorated the cake with spring onions!
