Tips from locals
Purple Yam is a Brooklyn-based Filipino restaurant, it is one of the many pioneers and advocates in globalizing Filipino cuisine and ingredients and is a big supporter of small local producers. Purple Yam Malate, set in a 1950s ancestral home, was born out of chef Amy Besa’s love for the Philippines and her goal of leaving a legacy by passing on her knowledge to passionate culinary students.

Purple Yam had their beginnings as a little Filipino bistro that could in the SOHO district of Manhattan. The owners have returned to their Filipino roots and have opened up a fine dining Filipino establishment in their family's ancestral home in the heart of Malate. Definitely an experience. I recommend everything. The menu varies seasonally.
