    Thanks for sharing this recipe. I prefer to use brown sugar instead of white sugar as the aroma is totally different. You will in love with it once you tried. I sometimes add in more water to eat them like bubur.

    i tried the ubi kayu bersantan.
    it is great.
    thanks for the recipe.

    for variety, i also substitute white sugar with gula melaka or rock sugar.
    puree it and eat it like yorghut or in smashed form.
    both taste delicious.
    using food colours is also an attractive alternative to it natural ‘grey’ look.
