Woah! These look amazing... can you share this recipe too?
Hi Aunty,
Another of my favourite. I used to eat this at the roadside stall when I was young. How I miss those days. I have tried to make the Sweet Potato Cake before but not so successful. The sesame seed didn't stick to the cake after deep fried. It was flowing in the oil. My Sweet Potato cake became 'Botak Head'. Don't know how to control the oil temperature.
rgds,
Thank you Auntie Yochana for posting this recipe. I will try this for this Lunar Chinese New Year and let you how it turns out Thanks,
Wah
Hi Liying,
the secret of the sesame seeds sticking to is:
dip the cake into water then roll over the sesame seeds then use your palms to roll it. It definitely will stick.

aunty can i replace the same amount of pumpkin with sweet potato instead? I've tried making sweet potato sesame ball with the ratio of 1:1 Glutinous rice flour & mashed sweet potato and it shrink after deep fried.. too soft though..
aunty, i was trying to try your Sesame Glutinous Rice Ball with Peanut Fillings recipe but why it's no longer available in your cake index? The computer just prompt me " Page not found"... i was thinking to try this recipe since my sweet potato sesame ball has failed
hi i wonder if "glutinous rice flour" is same as the type of flour use for making the chinese dumpling balls dessert (Tang Yuan) i have a pack of unused flour at home which reads "Glutinous Flour" on the packaging. I wonder it they are possibly the same? Thanks in advance for your advice again.
Yes Kathryn
they are the same...
