Though they are located in a 1950s ancestral home in Malate<\/strong>, <\/em>the team behind Purple Yam is actually based in Brooklyn. There they are recognized as pioneers in globalizing Filipino cuisine and advocates of using supporting small, local producers. <\/em>To ensure quality and the freshest ingredients, Purple Yam is only available by reservation.

They are the first in the Philippines to offer signature pan fried soup dumplings<\/strong> (Sheng Jian Bao) all the way from Shanghai, China. We recommend<\/strong> trying their succulent CFC (Chinese Fried Chicken), a fillet of chicken breast marinated for over 12 hours with a blend of Chinese herbs and spices, then breaded, and fried to perfection!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
