Lotus Root Meat Cake

“Men become passionately attached to women who know how to cosset them with delicate tidbits.” (Honoré de Balzac, 1799-1859)

Today, I made Lotus Root Meat Cake, which is quick and very easy to prepare.

This recipe is adapted from a Malaysian cookbook, "Hawker secret Recipes". This cookbook is full of yummy Malaysian hawker style dishes.
Those that grew up in Asia, might have tried this meat cake before. It's delicious and it can be served with steamed rice or if you like, you can have it with bread/bun, just like burger.
