Purple Yum Cafe

I came here for halo-halo, but it was awful. It was 90% red mung beans and white beans, which weren't pleasant to eat. I feel sorry for non-Filipinos who have tried this. They could believe that this is how halo-halo is intended to taste, but that isn't how it should. There were no bananas, nata de coco, or other OG halo halo ingredients. Leche flan was the only enjoyable ingredient about this dessert. Despite tasting artificial, ube jam and ice cream were acceptable.

Value for money! Was blown away by the serving proportions - definitely wasn't expecting that much palabok for 16 Aud. Love that this bakery exists for those days when I'm craving for something close to Goldilocks or Red Ribbon. The menu is focused on Filipino breakfast comfort food and cakes. Wish they could add bangus belly to the menu but at the moment I like the simple, not overwhelming menu. Service was kind and fast as well. Love Purple Yum and will definitely keep coming back!

I understand there were only two people working at the time we walked in to order. But to wait 1 hour for halo halo was a horrible experience. By the time we received our dessert the shaved ice was all melted and we didn’t have time to eat it in the store. The water and milk was dripping from the lid and spilt all over my jeans within minutes of leaving the store. Lost my appetite. I’ve been here before, love the food and enjoyed the halo halo. No issues whatsoever, but the service today was very surprising.

We ordered 3x Tapsilog which apparently was their first time serving in the restaurant. The Chef was very professional on approaching us for a feedback. Their infamous Halo-halo is also a must try to my fellow filipinos out there. Very generous with their toppings.Waiting time for food is also very short considering the amount of customers and the amount of people working in the kitchen.Allocated Parking is also available for 1hr just around the back of the restaurants.

I've passed this cute little bakery many times and this afternoon (15/11/2022) I finally got to try it. All the other pastries and cakes looked amazing and very tempting. The staff member working when I visited was very friendly and sweet.They recommended the bakery's signature cake, the Ube Macapuno cake. The cake slices were decently priced considering that they were rather big. As per the recommendation, I bought a slice of the ube cake and it was absolutely heavenly! I will definitely be back for another slice!

Second time here, food reminds me of Lola’s cooking. First time we came the food had more flavour, garlic rice and Tocino were lacking a bit today but Longanisa was on point. They’ve changed the marinate in Tocino but said by next week they should have the proper marinate so definitely will be coming back. Ube Cake is amazing! The Halo Halo looks good, will try next time!

Dropped in to Purple Yum Cafe for lunch.The place was busy and it’s nice and clean. Ita Phillipino cuisine and it’s not easily apparent what’s what to a newcomer.My son ordered the hot dog. And I settled on the streaky bacon option as recommended by the hostess.We took a seat and about 5 minutes later the hostess advised there was no more streaky bacon. I asked for an alternate recommendation. She suggested the crispy pork belly.A few minutes and she was back again to advise that I owed another $4 dollars for the replacement meal for the one that she recommended and was not available. ???So the ‘hot dog’ is served as three hot dog sausages with rice, two fried eggs and fresh tomato. The pork belly was the same.Overall tasty - but not spectacular. It’s good serve - and accompanied with Banana Sauce, not badThe milkshakes looked great. Will try them next time.4 stars is fair.

Today, I ordered Liempo with Rice and Lechon Kawali with Rice from the store. Both dishes were delicious, and I also tried the Halo Halo, which was good. However, the service was slow, even though my group was the only one dining in. It took almost half an hour for our order to be served. Despite the slow service, I would still recommend this store because the food was tasty.
