Quick Review of Purple Yam Cebu

My cravings for something sweet and creamy knows no day, no hormonal imbalances and completely ignores the fact that I cannot digest dairy very well.

I have been intrigued by Purple Yam Cebu for a few months now. I kept seeing it in my Foodpanda window shopping. It looked really moist (sorry for the word) and delicious. So, as predictable as it may be, I caved in to it one day.

I ordered mine from Foodpanda and this six-inch cake costs Php 425. The delivery took almost an hour but it was still cold when it arrived.

This reminds me of the dream cake concept which I have never tried and not really planning to anytime soon. This is a good size if you'll be the only one eating it and really practical because you can just eat it out of the can and not worry about taking out another plate. You can also repurpose the can if you wash it well.

For the photo above and almost all of my food photos, I try to take them in the best natural light possible so I won't distort any of the food's real-life look. 

I ordered this with the expectation that it will have the same consistency of a moist cake which is way more flavourful and dense because that is how it looked like in the photos at least in my point of view. However, I was surprised when it actually is a chiffon cake with creamy purple yam "frosting". 

In conclusion...

If you're like me who cannot digest dairy very well, do not eat too much of this. Even though the cake is just chiffon, the yam is actually very creamy and will mess up your digestion which we know that will not end well.

Anyway, the yam frosting is really delicious. It really is made from scratch and has amazing consistency that compliments the cake. It is not too sweet but is still very rich in flavour. I think this will still be delicious even if you pair this with a sweet beverage. The cake is also great, but does not stand out to me. It is honestly a little bland and I am not a big fan of its consistency. 

I personally don't think I will buy this again but this is a good cake if you're craving for some good ube flavour without too much sweetness.
