Yam rice memories

The first time I had yam rice was probably right after Form 5 when I was waiting for my SPM results.

I was working as an apprentice under my late dad as a backhoe loader operator, and we had to go to Seberang Prai to get some spare parts for the machine. Dad, being a foodie (that’s where I got it from), took the opportunity to bring us to the famous Chai Leng Park Yam Rice that is still operating till today.
