Unlike the usual fried yam, yamarita is an egg-flour coated fried yam which makes it crunchy and sweeter (my opinion).
Yamarita, unlike dun dun (fried yam, which is often sold by the roadside is commonly sold in restaurants and mostly served with well-fried sauce or ketchup in some cases.
My first encounter with yamarita had me wondering what makes it so different from the roadside fried yam. Now that I know, yamarita has become one of my favourites as I can make it easily any day anytime.
