Not just any Yam Cake this Lunar New Year but an 8-Treasure Yam Cake for endless abundance 💰

This Yam Cake is not like any other with extra flavourful goodness from Sio Bak, Chinese sausages, dried scallops and shrimps! The mix of seafood umami and earthy undertones from mushrooms and meat makes for a delicious (and prosperous) breakfast.

The key to getting the perfect textural balance — enough bite from the yam cubes and ingredients and moist chewiness from the “cake” — is controlling the steaming process. With Panasonic Singapore’s Multifunction Grill Steam Oven NN-DS59NBYPQ, its heat distribution makes it much easier to get a consistent doneness whilst retaining its moisture, especially when there are EIGHT treasures within.

For the best eating experience, grill lightly for a crispy exterior! Have you ever seen a microwave produce such a beautiful char?

No Multifunction Grill Steam Oven yet? Steam for 45 mins over the stove, cool then pan sear with a touch of oil till golden brown.
