150g tapioca flour
50g rice flour

Hi QQ
I am so glad to come across ur blog. U have a very good list of south east asian recipes (esp malaysian/chinese kuihs and dim sums) which I can learn from :)
Btw this kuih recipe, is it similar to the kuih sagu or the steamed tapioca cake with shredded coconut? I love eating that kuih but it is difficult to get grated tapioca here in Antwerp. Good that you are using sweet potatoes cos I can get them easily. But how is the taste as compared to the steamed tapioca cake? Is it less chewy?
cheers

Hi Bee,
Thanks. Well kuih talam using sweet potatoes taste different if compare with tapioca or sago pearls. It is very soft and less chewy too. And you need really good quality of sweet potatoes to achive the good taste.
You can get frozen grated tapioca easily at chinese or suriname supermarkets. Or you can buy fresh or frozen tapioca and grate it by hand or food processor.
Personally I prefer kuih bingka ubi which using tapioca.
