- Food Travel Log
- Cold days call for hot tofu with jam. Setsuko, that’s not hot tofu; it’s Taho. In Baguio, Philippines, which is cold due to its high altitude, warm Taho is common. The sweet taste of Ube jam, like sweet potato, pairs well with the hot, soft tofu. The small tapioca pearls at the bottom add texture, creating a perfect balance in this dessert!

- Taho is a traditional Filipino snack usually made with tofu, syrup, and tapioca pearls. Ube (purple yam) is a highly popular flavor in the Philippines, and adding this distinctive sweetness and vibrant purple hue to taho enhances its look and taste, making it even more delightful. Baguio is a cool, high-altitude region in the Philippines, where warm taho is especially fitting for the climate. It is cherished by both locals and tourists as a warm dessert that helps them forget the cold. By the way, the author, with a unique flair for food reviews, might confuse Japanese yudofu with taho despite such quirkiness, but continues to charm the audience. One might think, "Putting jam on yudofu is just a strange dish!"
