I like Yam Mooncake in particular one brand of Yam Mooncake but the price keep escalating each year. Since I was busy making the Shanghai mooncakes this year, I did not get any Yam Mooncake.
So even though the festival is over, I decided to make them myself.
And I am trying them with the flaky pastry.
The water dough on the left and right is the oil dough with a mere hint of purple colour. 
After wrapping and rolling both the dough together.
Roll each piece into round - can see the swirls
After baking - cannot really see the layers from the outside.
But inside it's a different story- can see the layers of the flaky, crisp pastry. I cooked the yam paste myself. I don't know whether its the texture of the yam as I know that I should use one particular type of yam, its was very soft and sticky. I try adding some custard powder and hence the yellowish hint. However overall the taste is delicious- soft and creamy.
Verdict: will try to perfect this mooncake for next year.
