If you head over to Yat Ka Yan's Instagram page or Facebook page, you will be able to catch a glimpse of how they prepare their desserts, from cracking gingko nuts to making taro balls to making yam paste.

It markets itself proudly as a business which sells homemade desserts so we made sure to check and a staff confirmed that all their desserts are made by hand. Even the shallots for their yam cake are fried in-house.
