If you want good ube go to Good Shepherd. Hahaha.

Hoy Christian, hindi taro ang ube. Aysus.

Ube is not Taro. Period!

deym halo halo cost $11?

its the new vietnamese crop star in the making on the culinary world

ube is not taro! ube is ube and taro is not ube. 😂😂😂

My mom would cut the Ube in chunks with other ingredients in a sweet hot soup. So was surprises that in that first tart only had a pinch of it, almost like used it as food coloring. But looked really tasty, heading to TJ now.

Christian Esteban..StarStruck season 1

So this is why i haven been able to buy ube in my homo town in the filipinos.

how can you say ube's taste comes from extract, maybe for you in the US but for us in the Philippines, we only eat REAL ube and make/buy "ube halaya" for base of any dessert we make. Ube extract are only used to enhance the color sometimes. Those you sampled are NOT the real ube, I would wonder how they taste like??? Those who uses UBE DO NOT even know what real ube taste like so how can you represent this properly.

christian esteban is a contestant in reality tv show in philippines called star struck.

$10 for a Halo-Halo?!

Ube is not Taro or Sweet Potato

Ube is not taro, taro is Gabi.

ube is not taro

It's not even real ube 😂

This is why Filipinos cuisine ain’t known , people don’t associate Ube with Philippines cuisine , but we utilized it and if you love Ube , you can’t say you don’t know Philippines cuisine

Most people outside the Philippines mistake a sweet potato to a purple yam. You'll know that it is ube or purple yam by the looks of it. Unlike sweet potato, purple yam are so huge in size and the skin is very distinctive, it almost looks and feels like a tree bark because of the rough skin and tiny hair-like roots sprouting from the skin.

Uber is not from all over Asia it is from the Philippines and is a Tagalog word!

Where do you even get real ube? Are you sure what you're using is even real ube? Coz even in the Philippines you don't aways see the root crop in a huge amount. There's not many ube farms.

fake ube

The easiest way to do R&D for ube flavor is to go to the Philippines so you don’t have to ask your elders.

This woman should be given some sort of congressional award for improving the quality of bread available at every supermarket in the country.

Got mad when I saw ube ice cream here in Auckland NZ from a specialty ice cream shop, and it did not taste like ube at all. Probably just taro with food colouring. I was so disappointed.

Ube(purple yam) is a seasonal harvest and not very abundant unlike the regular white yam. That it why iy is only served in special occasions. That is why we have it preserved in jars(ube jam and ube halaya) which are the very popular ube product here in the Philippines.

Is purple yam the same as Ube? I heard real Ube is harder to grow and is more expensive. Can someone explain?!

Wait, Christian Esteban is from StarStruck Season 1, batch of Jennylyn, Jasmine, Mark and Rainier. Am I right?

All of them need to revisit the homeland and taste real ube. Lots of misconceptions about Ube being shared here lol And you can tell it's really a "craze" out there because none of them are using real ube. Just faking it with artificial coloring and flavoring.

Be very careful with fake ube there is a lot out there. And its is NOT Taro or Purple Yam. You can describe it as that but it's not the same. When you say Ube, that's only in the Philippines nowhere else. Ube is a Filipino word.

Tancha or tantsa, is "to roughly estimate" We just add ingredients in and wait for our ancestors to whisper in our ears "enough, child" 😆

the real taste of ube is earthy, sweet, with a bit of bitterness to it. That's how I remember it. We used to cook it during new year.The process of making ube halaya using real ube is such a pain, it can take up to 4 hours mixing it non-stop and it gets heavier as it thickens. Also you have to grind it as fine as possible to get that smooth texture, all by hand and common home kitchen tools. so yeah, that turon is not original ube they just mixed ube essence to eggs I bet it does not taste like ube at all. Nothing beats the real deal, matched with buko salad. I didn't see any real ube here, probably because it will be expensive having to import it from PH. Ube Halaya recipe Ube Evaporated milk Condensed Milk Sugar Margarine Ube coloring (optional) and lots of love and patience

Seems like the American palate was introduced with a different kind of "ube". As what's shown here are the artificial 'ube', which is quite different from the real one

UBE HOPIA is the BEST!! 😂

diba yung lalaki kasama dati sa star struck? sila pala may ari nung resto?

It took me awhile to like the ube ice cream from Trader Joe's, but I don't like any of its other ube products @ all. They are commercialized and much too sweet. I don't mind ppl experimenting w/ food to add their own flair, and I appreciate the effort, but Trader Joe's isn't even close. They just serve food w/ purple food coloring and sugar. I know the tuber when I see / taste it.

UBE has different varieties. One species for taste, one for volume, one for color. Some food makers mix those varieties is what you are eating right now (PROBABLY) One of true UBE variety is from Bohol, it has unique taste, and color.

UBE is PURPLE YAM.

Do research before you make this video most of your information are wrong

Ube is only in philippines native to the philippinese not all over southeast asia

Ube is endemic to the Philippines. It is not all over south east asia

Please do your research first than spread misinformation

I wondered what happened to Christian after Starstruck (a tv reality show in the Philippines). Good to see him doing great after all these years🙂

stop this confusion UBE is a purple YAM. Taro is not ube and ube is not TARO. completely different plant ok gayayaya

Chaaste ❤ every filipino from Pasadena's go to

Woah it's Christian Esteban! OG Starstruck avenger, former actor & host. Glad to see him doing well with his family's business after his brief showbiz career in the Philippines

The only best way to experience the true taste of ube is halaya

The lady Borlongan must be my relative, there are only a few Borlongan's left in the Philippines.

Original Starstruck ✌🙌

Taro is not ube. Taro is called "gabi" here.

Its like comparing real orange to powder orange
