You know the saying “it’s 5 o’clock somewhere”? Well, it’s always merienda time somewhere. Merienda (Mehr-yen-dah) is a custom in the Philippines that means to have a snack in between meals. The snack of choice is usually a bread roll or rice cake usually paired with hot coffee.
Merienda is easy to find in the Philippines since a district can’t be without it’s bakeries also known as panaderias (pa-nah-dhereya). The neighborhood would also have it’s vendors that walk around or ride cart bikes selling breads, fritters, and rice cakes. This lively and varied food culture is one of the aspects of life in the Philippines that I miss.
Oh, Nostalgia.There have been so many times that I wished I could have a bowl of Lugaw (rice porridge) at Goodah’s or a plate of Pares (braised beef with garlic rice) at Originial Pares and Mami House. Then there were times I wished a Filipino bakery was nearby where I can buy kalihim (muffins), ensaymada (buttered and sugared brioche), and Pan de Ube all stuffed in a crackly brown paper bag.
I received an email the other day asking if I had a recipe for Pan de Ube or Purple Yam Bread. Pan de Ube (Pan-deh-oohbeh)is a soft bread roll filled with Ube or Taro. It’s fairly easy to make but time consuming. Most recipes require many steps which may be difficult for an amateur baker or too tedious for anyone who is busy. Still, one can learn a lot by sticking to tried and true baking techniques. However, if you’re craving and need your quick fix of that purple gold called UBE, then you’ve come to the right place. Stop reading! GO scroll down to the recipe now!

Hi Nathalie, I think that’s a great idea! I love it when recipes here inspire other to create their own! Just remember that that the Ube Jam is sweet. The pastry dough will puff up once baked but make sure you have enough around the Ube Jam to offset the sweetness. Let me know how it turns out! Happy Baking 🙂
