Daikon Radish Cake

If you’re not familiar with this dish, well maybe this can help you. This is the dish that usually gets push around with the grill push cart that comes with the taro cake. It is usually served with the sweet hoisen sauce mix with something else. I can’t seem to get the ingredient on it yet. Anyway, it usually grilled in front of you until golden brown before serving. The fragrance and the texture is so good. It a creamy and has a lot of chew in it.

I always order this, but not everyone enjoy it as much as I do. Therefore, I end up packing it to go after everyone taste about a bit or so. It is an acquire taste. But I think it one of the best dish ever, beside the siu mai.
