Ingredients: 300 g orange yam, peeled, cut into 2-inch chunks; sea salt; 80 g fresh coconut, grated (or frozen, thawed); 20 g unsalted butter; 20 g all-purpose flour; 150 ml whole milk, warmed; ⅛ tsp nutmeg; pinch cayenne; 100 g panko breadcrumb, crushed with 15 ml neutral oil; 40 g all-purpose flour (for breading); 2 large eggs, beaten; 1 liter neutral oil for frying; For calamansi aioli: 1 large egg yolk, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 80 ml neutral oil, 25 ml calamansi juice, ½ tsp fish sauce, pinch sea salt

Roasted yam and grated fresh coconut folded into a béchamel-bound interior, breaded triple-threat (panko-crushed, fried to shattering crunch). Paired with silky calamansi aioli—brighter and more complex than lemon mayo. A hands-on snack that feels special and genuinely interactive.
