cassava cake

I don't think cassava is a very common vegetable coz i don't see any fresh ones around not even in azn groceries nor do I even think i'd be confident in recognising it if i saw it either lol. Actually i bet most people won't even know wat cassava is? Anyhow besides steaming it like a potato, this is the only other way i know that it's eaten...?

Well I found this frozen package of it in my freezer before and so had a go at a childhood Vietnamese bakery treat: Cassava Cake aka Banh Khoai Mi.

It may not be the most impressive looking thing; but i really like the mild sweet taste and chewy gooey texture.
