Dandenong Market’s bevy of food traders are cooking up one-off special dishes for the return of Dandenong World Fare festival.
The eye-catching options include a rarely-seen purple yam dough sensation that’s popular breakfast or snack fare in the Philippines.
Served warm, the ‘Ube Cheese Pandesal’ is filled with a sweet yam jam and melted cheese. The handmade dough is light as a donut’s.
Its creator Catherine from Si Kat Pinoy Eatscetera – known for Filipino street food – says the yam is an easy-to-grow staple used most commonly in poorer, rural areas of her homeland.
But they’re much more expensive in Australia. So she confines purple yam dishes as one-off specials such as for Dandenong Food Fare.
Called Leche Nana, Anne described it as a “very good combination of sweet and sweet.”
She added, she could probably eat four slices of it given how fluffy it is.
“It’s like a burst of like fluffiness in your mouth,” she added.
Note the recipe is the result of Erwan’s effort to create something that would go viral.
“What does it take for food or recipe to go viral? On TikTok, it seems pretty straightforward. It’s something that obviously has to be delicious but more importantly, has to be convenient and easy to do. That’s how trends like the One Pan Egg Toast, Dalgona Coffee, Tortilla Fold, or even the Feta Pasta all got started,” he said on the video.
