Yes, you heard it right. Our favorite Filipino dessert is selling like hotcakes in New York City!
Manila Social Club, a Filipino restaurant in Wellington, Brooklyn makes these Ube donuts daily. They are made from purple yams which are pounded and mixed to form a purple jam. Customers say that it didn’t seem like they were eating a vegetable, which yam technically is.
If you’re around the area, you can purchase it for $ 3.50 per piece or $40.00 for a dozen.
If you think a 3-dollar piece of donut is on the expensive side, how about a $100 one?
This Golden Cristal Ube donut is made from Ube, champagne and 24 karat gold flakes! Talk about luxurious. They have been reportedly selling this for $1200 per dozen. Who would buy these golden ube creations? Apparently, there have been customers who bought it for celebrations such as New Year’s Eve and even used it for wedding proposals. Wew!
Aside from the Ube donut, they also have other desserts such as Ube and Durian pie.
A lot of customers frequent the Manila Social Club for their unique and luxurious twist to Filipino delicacies. They have Pancit Canton topped with foie gras and duck confit bits. Here are some more mouthwatering photos from their Instagram page!
The owner and creator of these magnificent Filipino dishes is Chef Bjorn Dela Cruz. Compliments to you, chef!
