Do you have an idea how many calories there are in one of this?
I’m curious to know because this Ensaymada Ube (sweet brioche with purple yam), made by a bakery in New Jersey quickly became my husband’s favorite. I previously wrote about finding the nearest (8 miles away – one way) Filipino retail store and [...]

I wish I can say I have been busy so I can justify the lack of update here, but I was not. The truth of the matter is that, I just wanted to savor my free time, as officially, my “detective” work is now over. This is also the second week that I have not [...]
