Image may contain: food

I do not know if this is Sarawak's version of Yorkshire pudding. It is definitely shaped like Yorkshire pudding but it is not Yorkshire Pudding.

It is Kuih Buah Sengkuang or  Jicama frittersNo automatic alt text available.

My friend Sister Ah Kiew, shredded the jicama and added deep fried onions, some salt and seasoning. She then added some shredded jicama with some batter into a specially made ladle and lowered the ladle into the hot oil. Once the fritter turned golden, she allowed  it  to float in the oil for a while before taking it out.No automatic alt text available.

This jicama fritter, known to have originated in Marudi, Sarawak, is popular in Northern Sarawak.
