Purple Yam On Cortelyou Road
Purple Yam is a Filipino, pan-Asian restaurant located in Brooklyn and has dishes that you don’t see everywhere. The restaurant is brand new and is by the owners of Cendrillon, which used to be in SoHo, but closed this past March. When you walk into Purple Yam, the smell of the food takes over and you want to order everything. The food is family style, so order for the table and share. Try the Korean meatballs, which comes with kimchi and is great as a first taste of Purple Yam. The bibimbap is a dish that you have to try, it comes in a clay pot with crispy rice at the bottom and vegetables on top like shitake mushrooms, spinach, squash and gingko nuts. Another favorite is the Chicken Adobo that comes in a mixture of garlic, vinegar, and soy sauce. Experiment and try everything on the menu!
