  .....Anyone love this simple root vegetable? I'm a regular eater of this. Normally I bought those smaller size of the japanese version shown in picture (but grown in vietnam). It is not expensive and pack with nutritons. In fact I prefered sweet potatos to fruits....

  Usually during bbq.
  I will bring some and put near the char-coal area.
  
  Wait for it to cook then eat.
  Nice!

  I LOVE THIS!

  When you pop the sweet potato into aluminium foil and dump them in the dying charcoal, they caramelize and become sooooooo sweet and fragrant!

  I went to Sweet Potato Place at Suntec City and bought 2 baked sweet potatoes for about $4.50. A bit on the pricey side, but it's convenient and my satisfaction was about 85%, so I'll go back and buy it again. :P

  It's best to buy these sweet potatoes off those vendors peddling their sweet potatoes off a metal drum, on a wintery day in China.

  True, toss them in hot charcoal; outside burnt but nice inside.

  .....white kind of sweet potato they used? There're so many, purple, orange, yellow. They only sell baked potato? Yeahh, that's expensive just for two, baked yourself better... try the australia variety, very juicy!

  I prefer boiling it.

  Last time baked for the babies to eat, then I try steaming it.

  Somehow, steaming is more watery but the sugar machiam like in the water, so babies had a easier time eating them, then choking on them.

  What Australian variety? Is it what the supermarkets always label "golden" or something? Guaranteed sweet or not? If guaranteed, then I go buy :p

  They use purple and white (looks white-ish on the outside but it's pale yellow inside) potatoes. By default they will give you the white one, and you can request for the purple one, but the white one is a lot sweeter and more fragrant than the purple one.

  Sweet potatoes I prefer to eat them with honey than maple syrup...

  Quite the contrary lol.  If I eat at night I'll pass wind for the whole next day.

  But I still eat it since its so sweet and filling.  My mom used to bake these all the time...
