Soon the servants brought out the third course, jam yam cake.
Not a speck of flour was used in the yam cake; it was made entirely from yams with just a touch of glutinous rice flour, drizzled with the fig-leaf fruit jam that Bai Mengmeng had boiled down.
Elder Qi took a bite and found it mellow on the palate, with a dense texture. He had no idea how the jam was made, but it was not only sweet and savory, it also carried a floral fragrance that was truly unique, creating a remarkably distinct flavor when paired together.
