- Yam rice is a traditional dish popular in Singapore and Malaysia, typically served as rice cooked with soy sauce and accompanied by taro and chicken, pork, or shrimp. The term "yam" refers to taro, and its sticky texture is a characteristic feature of the dish. This dish is often prepared during celebratory occasions, particularly in rural areas, with variations in ingredients and seasoning depending on the region. To enjoy it deliciously, it's important to cook it with the right cooking time to reduce its oiliness. The author, having tasted yam rice in the unique setting of in-flight meals, finds themselves dreaming of romance at the travel destination. However, ultimately unable to conquer the oiliness, they tussle with their stomach while maintaining a stance of trying new flavors, which induces a charming gap appeal. Be sure to fasten your seatbelt tightly, in preparation for the stomach battle royale!
