This is a gem - Chef Lam Kun and his old school tim sum! Affectionately known as 根叔, he was the head chef of a prominent restaurant before starting this humble stall. His passion drives him to insist on traditional but tedious way of cooking (eg, frying raw rice for >1hr till it's cooked as glutinous rice)

Yam cake should be i) soft, ii) moist, yet iii) flavourful, and this hits all three. The winning consistency was dense, but mushy and light. Gen Shu has many other gems not featured here - glutinous rice, dumplings, siew mai, and the thick but translucent congee.. I love that congee too, on my!

Many thanks to Burpple, we discovered many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Toa Payoh during the #TastyTastemakerTour! 😋😋
