Filipino night market in Toronto turns into ‘Ube Wonderland’
Can ube-lieve it? Very soon, the largest Filipino night market in Toronto, called “Ube Wonderland,” will paint the city purple.
Pinoy Tayo is bringing back the Filipino night market in September.
The event will celebrate the beloved bright purple tuberous root that has been making waves in the culinary world.
Not ube-obsessed? Get ready to be converted.
Ube – which has gained international recognition for its exquisite purple hue and distinctive earthy, nutty and sweet flavor – is the star of this Filipino night market.
A staple in Filipino cuisine, ube has gained a cult following not just in Canada but also in the US, where chefs have recently begun adopting it for use in a variety of dishes, including ube pizza, the new purple craze in Oakland, California.
The event is all set to transform Toronto into a haven of ube treats. Vendors are serving everything from ube ice cream and halo halo to pastries and ube-based dishes.
You can also savor your favorite street foods under the open sky, making the experience even more magical.
Pinay Tayo Toronto is a community organization supporting Filipino women and small entrepreneurs in the Greater Toronto Area. It aims to connect, support, and unite Filipino entrepreneurs while promoting and preserving Filipino culture in Toronto.
