UBE PANCAKES!

ubepancake

Alright, so some of you may be wondering what “ube” is and let us tell you! Bringing it back to our  roots, Ube is a purple yam popular in the Philippines. It has a delicious mild sweet taste that needed to be tried as a pancake! This contest was a way to get unique and creative so UBE was a great choice to introduce its unheard greatness!  If you are already familiar with it, you must try this out. The hints of sweet yam seeps through the pancake batter to give an unexpected/familiar taste in each bite. We’ve paired it with coconut mascarpone frosting for extra creamy yummyness!

We’ve received several entries for this flavor but we had to be fair and give it to the first person who entered: CONGRATULATIONS to Paul Del Mundo!! You’ll be receiving these pancakes free for this month! AND A BIG SPECIAL THANKS to all who participated! We received some really fantastic and creative flavors and it was tough to decide through all the ideas! Maybe you’ll get to see yours in the future ;)

We’ll be debuting Ube Mini Pancakes with Coconut Mascarpone Frosting this Tuesday. Get your taste before the month ends!

Wow. That’s the only word to describe the epic festivities that happened for the 1st Annual Street Food Fest last Saturday! It was a sunny day for foodies and Angelenos alike and we’re stoked to have been a part of this historic event. Massive crowds braved throughout LA Center Studios and the long long lines that trickled down and around the 30+ mobile eateries. Specially yummy eats from our fellow foody truck friends Frysmith, Get Shaved, Dogzilla, and Special Guest Chef Ludo’s fried chicken bites. All so good! Also stumbled upon some great finds from the UniqueLA design vendors and artists. Alot of fun and cool items to snag right before Valentine’s Day.

We wanted to say a special thank you to those who patiently waited and tried  our Buttermilk sample goodies! We welcome you to come out and see us for our full menu anytime :]  Although it was a bummer to hear that some of you were turned away at the entrance, we believe that this was an overwhelmingly great turnout for it’s first time and we’re sure that it will be even GREATER and BETTER for the next fest! VIVA LA STREET FOOD! [pics below]
