Risen like a phoenix from the ashes of Ramir Bolanos DeCastro’s beloved Purple Potato it is as a Bakery that the former Yonaka Chef’s legacy lives on via Donuts, Cookies, Ube-based treats and Filipino Pastries.
Previously offered for delivery or takeout only, but now brick and mortar at 6370 W Flamingo Rd #20, it was Thursday that eight items were procured for tasting, savories skipped in favor of recently-added Ube Mochi Balls and Jackfruit Banana Cream Polvoron Donuts featuring a Brioche base and smooth Cream merged with candied Fruit on top.
Never actually gone from the local food scene, the rebranding of Yonaka and Purple Potato followed by a consulting gig at McCarran, Chef DeCastro’s current lineup continues with Croissant and Brioche-style Donuts, this day featuring a dozen varieties ranging from Leche Flan to Salted Yema and Oreo Pastillas.
Also selling Brownies and Banana Bread, the later flecked with Walnuts plus Dark Chocolate, fans of Coconut should head straight for lavish Young Coconut Pie with strip-studded Custard, robust Crust and a layer of Streusel on top.
