I cut it into smaller pieces b/c some of the sweet potato pieces were a little hard in the center.

You can even use yam for this, cut the yam into strips. It is usually served with ice cold water for you to dip the yam in as the sugar syrup is really hot after cooking. In Singapore, I grew up having the yam version at hawker centres. Really one of the best dishes I’ve ever had!
