Last year Carmina mentioned to Manang V there is Ube Taho every time you've felt you wanted to order it was out of stock. Carmina was lucky to be able to purchase it from Soy & Bean where she has tried their other products. Manang V didn't believe Carmina that there is ube taho to prove it had existed.
