TIPS #1
Choose the rounded sized yam with minimal holes on the surface. Weight the yam on your palm. If it feels heavy, that's a good piece of yam :)

Preparation

1. Soak dried prawns overnight or until soft. Drained and chopped roughly. Set a side.
2. Diced the soaked Mushroom and Chinese sausages.
3. Diced all garnishing ingredients for later use.




4. Prepare the yam by peeling off the skin. Wash and cut yam into small cubes. (Remember to wear gloves to prevent itchiness when handling the yam)


5. Start by frying the shallots until golden brown. Drain the excess oil on a piece of kitchen paper towel. 


6. Add some oil into the pan and put in the minced garlic. When it starts to brown, add in the chopped dried prawns and stir until it's golden. Lift up.


7. Toss in the diced mushrooms and cook until slightly golden. Leave a side.

8. Clean the frying pan, and then put in the diced Chinese sausages (Lap cheong). 
(No oil is needed for this process and the sausages will release oil when cook). 
Stir until it turns golden. 

9. Then add in the dried prawns and mushrooms into the sausages and stir to mix the ingredients. Set a side when done.


10. In a clean pan, heat some oil and add in the minced garlic. Stir in the yam.


11. Put in the Five Spice powder and grounded white pepper to season. When it's slightly golden, add in the leftover soaked mushroom & dried prawns water. Cover the lid and let it simmer. Yam is ready when it's half cook / soften.


It should look like this when it's done :)

12. In a large pot, add in all the seasonings and stir with 300ml filtered water & 300ml boiled water. Mix until all the lumps are diluted. 



13. Add in the cooked yam and stir. Then add the dried prawns, mushrooms and fried shallots (leave a bit for garnishing). Mix well. 

14. Heat the steamer. 



15. Get ready a container and pour in the mixture.

16. Let the mixture to steam for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. 

17. Poke a skewer in the middle of the yam cake to check if it's ready. If the skewer comes out clean, it's READY!

18. Remove from the steamer and set a side to cool. 


19. Garnish the yam cake. 


20. Cut into desired serving size. 

Final product - Enjoy! :)

#DINEWITHME: THE PENTHOUSE RESTAURANT & WINE BAR | SS15, SUBANG JAYA (KL)

Whooppsss...I just had my dinner!  What am I doing here? Come on, it's Friday! Let's chill a 'lil - Dinner extended. To be frank, I don't have much time to spend around ever since I've joined an award-winning agency few months ago. Life's pretty hectic everyday, with extreme workload and countless days of overtime.  And just because I have relocated myself to another area, my hangout place changes too. What makes the best option would be the one nearest to my office, with less traffic congestion.  Thanks to my bunch of friends whom always put me on a priority, they make the effort to come to a meeting point near me instead.  I was brought to this restaurant the other day by my friends and I found it quite a waste not to share such an interesting place with all of you.  Let me introduce you to -  THE PENTHOUSE RESTAURANT & WINE BAR.
