Ube or purple yam has been a hit with not only Filipinos but people from around the globe as well. Loved by many for its rich, earthy taste, ube is a versatile ingredient that goes well with a variety of sweet and even savory dishes.
But have you ever imagined drinking this beloved root crop? Well, imagine no further as Café Astoria in Astoria Plaza, in partnership with Astoria Culinary Expert Services through our Farm-to-Table initiative, proudly brings you a selection of ube-based drinks that will tickle your taste buds. There are five new drinks on the menu – namely Ube Milkshake, Ube Affogato, Iced Ube Caffè Latte, Hot Ube Caffè Latte, and Hot Ube Cappuccino.
Sweet Treats
If you have a sweet tooth, then Ube Milkshake and Ube Affogato are your best picks from the lot. Sweet and creamy, the ube milkshake will surely satisfy your cravings. If you want a hint of caffeine that does not overpower the taste of ube and ice cream, then the ube affogato will be your new go-to drink.
Coffee Kick
Of course, if you are not one for sweets and would prefer a stronger coffee profile, then the coffee selections of Cafe Astoria are your best bets. Shake things up with the Iced Ube Caffè Latte, which takes the classic iced coffee drink up a notch with its ube twist. You can also enjoy it hot, perfect for the rainy season. If you liked our Hot Ube Caffè Latte, then you should also try the Hot Ube Cappuccino, which offers that rich, velvety ube flavor.
With these five newest creations, we are sure there is something for your taste and preference. Visit Café Astoria in Astoria Plaza to try one or a few today with your loved ones.
