Remarks:
Or Nee is one of my favourite desserts around, but those that one can bu outside are ladened with oil and sugar (that's why they taste so yummy!) To avoid the unhealthiness and still enjoy the yumminess, I just had to try making Or Nee for myself! It turned out slightly dry and pasty, I could have added more milk to let it be in a more liquid state, but I like it this way, for it gives me a feeling of real substance in the dish. The yam taste was not as pungent as I hoped it would be, as I drained the boiled yam. Initially I wanted to steam them but I guess I was too lazy =x Laziness stole away the gingko nuts that were supposed to don this amazing dessert. Anyway, it's a sugar-reduced recipe, so if there is a need to, always feel feel to stir in some honey or syrup or coconut milk to moisten it :)
