In terms of flavours, there is the juxtaposition of salty shrimp and sweet taro, with a spicy dipping sauce that has a citrus tang.

When getting taro (keladi in Malay) from the market, choose one that feels light in contrast to its size. This means that its head has fully developed and its moisture drawn out so the taro will get fluffy, powdery and aromatic when cooked. Do not be alarmed by the amount of oil used for the cake. You need it to fry all the ingredients one at a time, starting with the shallots, then peanuts, dried shrimp, dried mushrooms and finally the shredded and diced taro.
