Today I'm on my way to Just Asia in Northend, a popular cafe known for its Pan-Asian delights.
00:08
Of course, it was a no-brainer that we try out their Ube Pancakes for Shrove Tuesday
00:13
as a twist on the traditional crepe-style pancake I have every year.
00:18
Made from purple yam, a root vegetable, the pancakes are given a vivid, bright purple
00:22
appearance which has a nutty and sweet flavour.
00:26
Just Asia has an offering of 5 staples - the honey and butter, sweet pandan, mango biscoff,
00:32
choco sticco and their staple, the Ube Crema.
00:41
The Ube Crema is a stack of 3 thick and cake-style pancakes drizzled with the vanilla infused
00:47
purple ube.
00:48
When cutting into it, you can see the oozy goodness of the cream spill out of the pancakes
00:53
and it tastes just as good as it looks.
00:56
The portion sizes here are huge so maybe it's worth sharing with a friend.
01:00
Although it is pancake day so why not go big like we did.
01:04
We also ordered the mango biscoff and the sweet pandan which were bright green in colour.
01:10
We are told by our server this is from the pandan plant which has fragrant leaves people
01:15
extract flavours from for many traditional Filipino recipes.
01:20
The mango one is just as good and the texture of the sauce resembles a mango smoothie.
01:26
The pancakes cost £9.99 and you can find them at Kings Crescent.
01:30
The eatery currently has a TripAdvisor rating of 4.7 stars and it is open from Monday to
01:36
Saturday.
01:38
It also has an offering of bao buns, noodles, spring rolls, chicken wings and all day breakfast
01:44
as well as much much more.
01:47
The pancakes were delicious, they resembled the American style of pancakes but with the
01:52
addition of the ube flavours from the purple ram root vegetable plant.
01:57
I also liked how there was cream in the middle of the sack when you cut into it.
02:01
It was so moorish yet three quarters of the way through I was almost stuffed.
02:06
I'm sure we will definitely be back again and if not for pancakes, definitely for more
02:11
of their divine Asian delicacies and delights.
02:14
(upbeat music)
