    Friends & Family Bake - Ube Custard Ball

    We stopped by this small Filipino bakery on our recent trip to Victoria to pick up some baked goods…read morefor dessert. Even though it was the middle of winter and it was near closing, there was still a good number of people inside buying buns and not all of them seemed to be tourists like us. We ended up getting a number of different items: Custard Ball ($2.99) - We warmed this up in a toaster oven, giving a bit of the crust on the exterior edges of the donut, especially on the top where the powdered sugar turns into an almost crème brulee-like topping. The crumb is very fluffy fried and is filled with a sweetened vanilla custard. (4/5) Ube Custard Ball ($2.99) - This has the same donut dough base as the normal custard ball, but is filled with a dark purple ube cream. It's sweet and earthy, albeit not necessarily the most heavily ube flavored. (4/5) Original Ube Ensaymada ($2.99) - This bun, extremely fluffy and nice to eat, has an interesting spiral pattern construction at least when viewed from the bottom, but it's not apparent inside the bun. The bun is sweet and again there's not too much ube flavor. If it wasn't purple I'm not sure I could identify it as ube in flavor. (4/5) Classic Pandesal ($0.99) - Lightly sweet, great soft texture. It's pandesal, not too much else to say. (4/5) Overall the baked goods Friends & Family Bake sells are pretty good. Most of the items are soft, fluffy and sweet, perfect for breakfast or a dessert.

    Amazing little Filipino bakery in Chinatown. So many sweet treats, and everything is well prepared…read moreand tastes great! Pricing is fair and service is great! You can take your baking to go or eat them on the spot, you should definitely have something on the spot where they can warm it up for you also.

    Now I'm no coffee drinker, and I'm definitely not a matcha drinker but I wanted to be apart of my…read morefamily's coffee date so I opted for the matcha lemonade! Wow - I didn't realize it was blue lemonade! Soooo good! Halfway through I def got the matcha taste but it was so perfectly refreshing. My mom got a plain coffee with cream and sugar and said for just a coffee, it was good! My sister said her honey latte didn't have much of a honey flavour though - the staff was awesome too!
