The Purple Bakeshop的点评

2025年07月01日发布于: 海外

点评：We planned a visit to The Purple Bakeshop based on the recommendations by fellow Filipino co-workers of my husband. We probably wouldn't have discovered this on our own as we rarely visit Square One, let alone The Food District. We stopped by here on Father's Day after our family lunch date. We easily found the store as its purple logo signage is distinctive from far away. The store looked busy, with a stream of customers placing their orders and paying at the cash register then picking up at the back.

We ordered Sago Gulaman ($10) and Fantasy Halo-Halo ($12.50) x2. We browsed while we waited. The Purple Bakeshop has quite an assortment of what could only be described as upscale products: cakes, pies, pastries, snacks, dessert and drinks. I appreciate that everything has signage. If you're unfamiliar with Filipino snacks or dessert, there's no need to ask what's this, what's in it, how much. Everything looked scrumptious but expensive.

Our order was ready in 5 mins. Self-serve at this point, get you own straws, spoons, napkins, even cardboard carry tray. My husband went back to ask for a long handle spoon (the bamboo one was too short for the cup) but he was told they don't have any. My son, on the other hand, noticed the straw provided was too short to reach the bottom of the taller sago gulaman cup.

Both sago gulaman and halo-halo were refreshing with a good ratio of ingredients. I'm not a fan of too much ube (purple yam) which is probably the wrong thing to say as this is obviously their specialty, based simply on their store name. Never paid this much for sago gulaman and halo-halo before. Definitely paid for the branding and ambience.

翻译：我们计划去 The Purple Bakeshop 看看，这都是我老公的菲律宾同事推荐的。我们自己可能发现不了这家店，因为我们很少去 Square One，更别提 The Food District 了。父亲节那天，我们全家聚餐后，顺便去了一趟。这家店的紫色标识从远处就很醒目，我们很容易就找到了。店里看起来很热闹，顾客络绎不绝，他们点餐付款，然后到收银台取餐。

我们点了 Sago Gulaman（10 美元）和 Fantasy Halo-Halo（12.5 美元）两份。我们一边等，一边慢慢地浏览。The Purple Bakeshop 的商品种类繁多，堪称高档：蛋糕、派、糕点、小吃、甜点和饮料。我很感激所有东西都有标识。如果你不熟悉菲律宾小吃或甜点，完全没必要问这是什么、里面有什么、多少钱。所有东西看起来都很美味，但价格不菲。

我们的订单五分钟就准备好了。现在都是自助的，吸管、勺子、餐巾纸，甚至还有纸质托盘，都需要自己准备。我丈夫回去想买一把长柄勺（竹制的太短了，够不着杯子），但被告知没有。我儿子则注意到他们提供的吸管太短了，够不到更高的西米露杯底。

西米露和哈罗哈罗都很清爽，配料比例也很好。我不喜欢放太多的紫薯（ube），这么说可能不太对，因为光看店名就知道这绝对是他们的特色菜。我以前从没为西米露和哈罗哈罗付过这么贵的钱。绝对是冲着品牌和氛围付的钱。
