Masarap

Where to Find Fantastic Filipino Food in Portland and Beyond

"It’s all ube all the time at this standalone stall on Northeast Sandy, whether it’s silky ube cheesecake, ensaymadas filled with ube, or bright purple ube waffles topped with — you guessed it — ube butter. While Masarap does offer savory snacks like lumpia, dumplings, and sio pao (Filipino steamed buns), almost every savory dish comes with an ube counterpart; in other words, a visit could involve an amuse bouche of ube lumpia, followed by a steamed bun stuffed with purple yam filling. The shop also sells boba, coffee drinks, and ube lattes, naturally." - Krista Garcia, Eater Staff
