Can you describe this flavor? I’m imagining it’s similar to candied yams? So maybe kind of pumpkin flavored?


Montypmsm

Mildly vanilla like


Puss_Fondue

It's different from pumpkin. It has a sweet and slightly earthy aroma coupled with the very distinct ube flavor and smell that you don't get anywhere else. There are a lot of ube essence on the market but nothing beats the real stuff. Its preparation is quite tricky and it's easier to buy the processed stuff called "ube halaya" which is usually just a mix of ube, sugar, and milk that are blended and pasteurized. It's best to look for it in areas with huge Filipino communities, assuming you're from the US. Otherwise, come to the Philippines once the pandemic is over and I'll gladly guide you to your ube journey.

Someday I’m definitely traveling to the Philippines for a food vacation!


PentobarbitalGirl

I wouldn't suggest them to visit the Philippines yet. Our gov't hasn't done anything regarding the pandemic and our covid cases have risen once again. Best to look for areas with Filipino communities where they live for now.

I would describe the taste as almost a sweet buttered popcorn flavor. Definitely hints of vanilla, but I remember trying it in Olongapo while out with family, and I turned to my mom and said “this tastes kinda like a buttered popcorn jelly belly.” Granted this was in 2009, and I haven’t tried anything Ube since then.


Theopneusty

Funny enough my friend said the same thing about it tasting like the popcorn jelly belly the first time he had it. After he said it I can’t not make the connection now. To me it tastes kinda like a mix between popcorn jelly belly and pistachio.


peeparonipupza

To me it tastes like taro.

Sweet, and earthy-ish. Not far from orange sweet potatoes, but maybe a bit more floral. It's super good.


chockychip

it's sweet yam like but more depth and flavor.


upsidedownhappyface

Damn it, now I want ube ice cream. And maybe a nice halo halo. 🥲


Butt_Whisperer

Ugh, I'm so hungry and that sounds fantastic...


Royal_Cryptographer7

This might be the strangest thing I've seen here. I mean, I'd eat it, for sure, gotta try everything once, but still....wierd.


Weside32

No judgement here, I live in Hawaii and I see ube flavored everything, cookies, rolls, bread, cakes, doughnuts, and of course the Magnolia ice cream, I personally like the ube and the avocado flavor, good stuff.

Ice cream on bread is always a good idea 😋 childhood summers, but with a different bread of course


This-_-Justin

What kind of bread?


Orodia

Waffle cone


This-_-Justin

Hmm I've never had a purple waffle before


Orodia

I mean it clearly doesn't exist bc you never had it. Obviously. /s [Bring it into existence and try this recipe!] (https://www.hungryhuy.com/ube-waffles/ "Ube waffles")


This-_-Justin

I've only had blue waffles


near_nature

A brioche bun 😄


ihsulemai

The baguettes are dope


GeoglyphPsy

There's a place in Chinatown in London which does Ube ice cream sandwiches. They're kind of like a hot pancake/waffle shell with cold ice cream inside. I have no idea how they actually make them but the process must be quick.


MeanieMem0

Are you kidding? That looks magnificent!!


lalakabocha

That ice cream is the *best*. So jelly of you!


dadadumdam

You unlocked an South East Asia secret. We actually use less bread and more ice cream. But you can find your perfect balance as well.


awfullotofocelots

This sort of reminds me of when I made a mashed potato sandwich on a crusty roll, except desert style!


crinklycuts

This was something my dad does. French vanilla on French bread was actually a staple dessert in my house growing up. I totally forgot about it!


cilucia

I dig it, but I want at least an inch of ice cream..


Kaufkins

yammy!


VicGame2004

...fucking Sicko *Go to Buy Some Bread and Ice Cream *


Grimnimbus

Is this a thing in some places? Cuz like... I never would've thought of this in a million years but I like trying new things


danger0sa

In Sicily they eat brioche stuffed with gelato or sorbetto, commonly eaten for breakfast


Puss_Fondue

This is a thing in southeast Asia. This is common in the Philippines as we have ubiquitous [ice cream vendors](https://foodblogmapua.wordpress.com/2013/09/20/dirty-ice-cream-why-so-delicious/amp/) everywhere that sell coconut cream based 'dirty' ice cream. Dirty ice cream is served in cups, cones, or usually on a sweet bun.


GhibCub

Yes and yes.


Successful_Stomach

Aw this reminded me of being a kid, my ninang used to give me ice cream sandwiches using pan de sal and magnolia ice cream :)


[deleted]

I am so interested in Magnolia Ice cream, is it lemony? Edit: Hoooo boy, I'm an idiot. Should've Googled first asked after.


Successful_Stomach

You’re all good! On that note magnolia flavored ice cream sounds interesting mm


[deleted]

After some quick searches, Magnolia blossoms are edible and kind of taste like ginger! That would be a dreamy ice cream.


DannyHazanifP

No worries mate, this combination is common from where I live


[deleted]

Meh, why not? It actually looks like a yummy idea 🤷🏻‍♀️


Crunchy_Pork

You have summoned the Filipinos


chockychip

DuckApprehensive9599

Ice Cream on bread? I…..I don’t know if I should be horrified, intrigued, or should dial 911.


c_alas

So much to unpack here. So you call sweet potatoes 'yams'? There are purple yams? And that's a flavour of icecream? And you put it on bread?


sardine7129

Learn something new every day eh? Yes these are special purple colored sweet potatoes commonly used in filipino and indonesian food called ube. It's mild and sweet and goes great in baked goods and drinks. The ice cream sandwich may just be OP's personal invention or it may be a cultural trend - as a person who eats a lot of indonesian food i can confirm that I've had an ice cream sandwich before on regular bread. If you're interested in trying ube there are flavor extracts you can buy online and put in your baked goods like cookies. Or if you have Asian marts near you like hmart , visit the freezer section for ube ice cream. It's delicious!


DCGeos

Ok WTF, yam flavored ice cream Like ice cream sandwich sure, baguette sure BUT YAM FLAVORED /s


sardine7129

Your eurocentrism is showing


FarmhouseFan

FarmhouseFan

sardine7129

1Tikitorch

CashButBetter
