Claypot Braised Chicken N Yam - Who is Bigger?

Recently, my friend was telling me that she ate Duck with Yam Rice. Just YAM alone was enough to trigger off a chain of thoughts on food like Yam Milkshake, Yam Ice Cream, Taro Balls and so forth. And there was one particular yam dish that I super loved and I could not stop thinking about it for the next 1 week. As schedule was busy of late, I decided to cook it instead of going through the hassle to travel to eat it to satisfy my craving! Just the image of the Yam and Chicken in my mind made me drool even in my sleep. It could be the Yam, it could also be the Chicken. I just gotta have it for real... RAWRZZZ!
