1 review of Purple Yam "If you're the type of person who likes to rendezvous, Purple Yam in Malate is one of those places for that. Each bite will have you looking at reasons to return to Manilla so you could go again. We were told that The Purple Yam does not serve walk in diners. and just the right number of courses: soup, interesting salad (pheasant eggs), heavy app, fish course, meat course and dessert. Many are sourced directly from the farmers or growers by Ms. Besa herself. We will be hearing a lot more about Amy Besa, wife of Romy Dorotan, and main overseer of Purple Yam in Malate, as she will be featured presenting recipes that incorporate her research on how the Galleon Trade, and our ties with Mexico, influenced Philippine cuisine, at the upcoming Madrid Fusion Manila 2016 edition happening April 7-9. We had the whole restaurant and 2 wait staff to ourselves as well as a personalised menu. The textures were superb and the flavors very well balanced. The proteins were very tender to make the texture somewhat meaty, slightly gelatinous and pleasantly crunchy. Only the cheeks and the softest parts of the pig’s ear and snout were used. The flesh on the fish was perfect. We Filipinos have a dish called Kare-Kare. It’s an oxtail and vegetable stew in a peanut base that is served with shrimp paste as a primary condiment. to order wine and instead had their ginger lemonade). I highly recommend. Definitely a great experience that I would gladly recommend for any food lover wanting to rediscover the tastiest Filipino food.More, Felt like traveling back in time in this small family like atmosphere restaurant, located in an old restored house, decorated with nice objects and pieces of furniture. What a wonderful night. They are not a conventional restaurant. Let me tell you that they’re not every restaurant and they are not in it for the money. As simple as it sounds it was a great salad. Pumpkin Soup followed by a local fish starter (can't recall the name of the fish but it had a coconut...based sauce that was divine) and then pork lechon and adobo chicken with brown rise. About 10 minutes after we sat down and finished all the chips the first course was rolled out. It is not your mom’s “ensalada”. Nice original atmosphere and setting for a moment at 2 or with a small group. The heat level on the preserve was so subtle that my mother who cannot stand capsaicin didn’t even notice the birds eye chilis among the bits of guava. Everything I are was delicious. My mind and palate were blown. A reservation must be made 2 days prior as all the ingredients are obtained fresh from the local market as well as from specialty suppliers. - See 33 traveler reviews, 51 candid photos, and great deals for Manila, Philippines, at Tripadvisor. A great start and introduction to the Yam’s style of food. This is where it got very interesting for me. Rather than just doing a sisig taco the kitchen team took it up a notch. Purple Yam Malate We’re all about Brooklyn eatery, Purple Yam’s Philippine outpost in Malate, which serves up Filipino fare in the same contemporary fashion as the New York branch. We had a set 7 course dinner, of simple yet thoughtfully prepared dishes, using locally sourced ingredients. Let me tell you that they’re not every restaurant and they are not in it for the money. Delicious and creative multi-course menu served by an attentive and knowledgeable person. They used baby octopi along with very non-mainstream vegetables and added a subtle vinaigrette dressing (made from organic sugar cane vinegar). I’d come back over and over just for the beef dumpling and THIS TACO. Nothing in the soup was adulterated. Don’t go alone. Instead let’s talk flavor. Their most basic intention for operating this gem is to ultimately educate and inspire you. It was served with the octopus slightly warm, the local vegetables crisp and at room temp for a balanced salad that made you more curious for the next course. Just learned there's a sister property in bushwick Brooklyn, will be checking it out...More, we had the most wonderful experience of manila, surprisingly, in this restaurant. The beef dumpling paid homage to this classic home kitchen stew. The food ingredients come from all over the country. Good the following dishes: the vegetable chowder, the beef with seared foie gras, the fish and a sublime dessert. Can a vegan person get a good meal at this restaurant?

It’s an oxtail and vegetable stew in a peanut base that is served with shrimp paste as a primary condiment. The octopus had no chew and went down easy. on the 6th of April but a week prior we placed a call to make reservations. These ingredients are painstakingly selected, paired, prepped and placed onto the plate to comprise courses that both a CEO and the company janitor would appreciate and relish. I finished my portion of rice along with whatever rice was left on the serving dish. The cozy place with vintage decor and furniture can accomodate 30 diners at the most.
