The bright purple yam-like food can be found in Filipino desserts like jellies, puddings and cookies. It's mild in flavor, but still sweet. It's a bit nutty and some say it tastes vanilla-like.
Sweeter versions typically come with shaved ice, chunks of fruit, fruit juice, vanilla ice cream and lechera . But then there are also the bolder flavors, like the mangoyada, which can come with more tangy fruit options, plus chamoy and toppers like tamarindo candy sticks or Serpentinas candies.
The newest addition to the popsicle scene, though, is PopHeads. The spot has a menu of juice- and dairy-based popsicles . Flavors range from cherry limeade and blue raspberry to banana pudding and butter pecan. At Bing's Boba Tea, you can find slushes and snows . There are nearly 20 different slush flavors, including lychee, cantaloupe, strawberry and taro. You might get overwhelmed with the snow flavors though: there are 36 of them, including almond, coffee, pistachio, honeydew and raspberry.The fruity punch of shaved ice and Italian iceSometimes you just want a classic shaved ice, topped with a rainbow array of flavors.
