- Meiyuan Canteen mixes yam, sweet potato, and dragon fruit, and fills the center with salted egg yolk and pork floss – a bold blend of sweet and savory that lingers on the tongue.
- The Engineering Campus' No 1 Canteen incorporates glutinous rice flour for a chewier texture. The soft pink cake wrapped around savory pork floss offers a delightful contrast in both taste and texture.

- The Information Sciences Campus' No 4 Canteen keeps it clean and simple with a low-sugar blend of yam and purple sweet potato – light, fresh, and guilt-free.
- Xingyuan Canteen adds condensed milk to the yam for extra creaminess, and just a touch of sugar to the sweet potato. A hint of dragon fruit brings a playful pop of color, while fragrant osmanthus syrup is served on the side.
