Owners of Purple Yam announce closure of iconic Filipino restaurant in Brooklyn 'Good food was what we lived for no matter which culture nurtured and produced it. And so that’s how we want to say our goodbyes to all the people we treasure in our lives,' its owner Amy Besa writes.

Did you know? The original Olympic motto is made up of three Latin words: Citius - Altius - Fortius. These words mean Faster - Higher - Stronger.

Preparing a big order of Cashew Panutsa Petit Pies for today. Perfect with coffee for an office meeting. 😊

When we started roasting in Manila, Purple Yam was one of the first restaurants that served Kalsada. They shared our coffee alongside consciously-sourced food, going as direct to producers as possible.

“It’s not too sweet”
That’s how this pie is often described.
We prefer to let the nuanced flavors of the ube and taro to shine through.

Perfect for sugar-conscious eaters that enjoy dessert in moderation.
Ube & taro are high in antioxidants and fiber.
Great for the gut.

The Mangyans harvest the taro in the mountains.
Topped with Mindoro Pinipig (flattened young rice) to give it crunch.
It gives you a taste profile of Mindoro’s soil.
