Purple is not often a colour associated with food but these Ube (pronounced oo-beh) based treats from Fuwa Fuwa in Pickering were absolutely delicious and beautiful! Ube, if you're unfamiliar, is a purple yam native to the Philippines. It has a sweet nutty flavour and is often used in many desserts. Fuwa Fuwa offers a whole series of desserts based on ube, including cakes, pancakes, croffles, bubble tea, and more, proving the versatility of ube.
My favourite, however, is their Halo Halo, a Filipino shaved ice dessert with lots of components, all colourful, all delicious. Halo Halo translates to mix mix, so this dessert needs to be mixed before enjoying. It is so good! It's a must-try!
