Kuih Talam ubi should be a Malay and/or Peranakan kuih that are commonly sold in the kuih stalls. It usually come with two layers, one brown layer with the tapioca and the other white layer, coconut flavoured steamed flour cake. The white layer is the same as the white layer as in normal kuih Talam in this post : Kuih Talam , Kuih Talam Tepong Pandan (绿白双层香兰糕)

The white layer is soft, aromatic, slightly salty and complement very well with the sweet chewy tapioca layer.

There is nothing much I can write about this kuih except sharing the recipe which is relatively straight forward and simple. The adventure is very successful though I found that it is not as sweet as what I would prefer. Well, I believed this will suit the taste buds of most readers.
