Ube Pandesal

📍 Chicago Filipino $$$

at Kasama

"The ube pandesal at Kasama — purple yam-filled Filipino breakfast roll — is the all-day bakery staple that draws people to the counter before the restaurant opens. The ube is from a specific source, the bread is baked fresh, and the combination of purple yam sweetness and bread warmth is exactly what a breakfast roll should be. Kasama is Chicago's best Filipino restaurant."
