Our Verdict
A no-fuss, budget-friendly way to try ube pancakes the way they're actually made in Filipino households — less photogenic than the mochi-style mixes on this list, but the flavor and convenience make it a pantry staple worth keeping stocked.
What We Liked
- A genuine Filipino grocery staple from RFM Corporation, the same company behind other well-known Pinoy pantry brands, so the ube flavor reads as authentic rather than a Western reinterpretation
- Just-add-water formula with no eggs, oil, or milk required, making it one of the fastest mixes to pull together on a busy morning
- Each box comes as two individually sealed 200g sachets, so a half-batch stays fresh instead of leaving an open bag exposed to air
Drawbacks
- Color leans more muted lavender-gray once cooked through than the vividly purple mochi-style mixes, since it relies on purple yam powder rather than added food coloring
- Contains wheat flour, milk powder, and whey powder, so it's not an option for gluten-free or dairy-free households the way some competitors are
Key Features
- Net Weight: 400g (2x 200g sachets)
- Just add water, no eggs or oil needed
- Makes approx 12-14 hotcakes
