A unique white yam sauce served with warm barley rice. The two delicacies that came with my meal were also made from wild yam: deep fried yam and deep fried yam tofu. Wild yam is known to have great medicinal properties. The architecture of the house was also very interesting given that it is a traditional house built in 1596.
