Yam Soup Dessert (番薯糖水)
Posted by Eric.N
Weather in LA is getting colder and colder especially last week because of the storm. Towards the end of the week everyday was raining. It was really troublesome getting around when raining; the roads were wet, the traffic was slow, the sky was dark and the weather was cold. It felt so slow and moody. The best thing for me to do was relaxing at home with my blanket covering up, sitting in front of the TV with my favorite dramas and a bowl of hot Yam Soup Dessert in hand. Having a hot bowl of dessert gave me the perfect warm up for my body as well as fulfilling my crave for sweet dessert.
The Yam Soup Dessert is pretty easy and simple to make, you just have to dice up all the ingredients and cook them in the ginger soup. It can be ready in one hour. Mmmm… It tastes so delicious and definitely keeps us all warm up in this cold weather.

2 Sweet Potatoes (Diced)
2 Yam (Diced)
2 Purple Yam (Diced)
2 Pandan Leaves (Tie into a knot)
