Carmina's Review on Ube Taho from Soy & Bean

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. Carmian had placed a order at Soy & Bean through Grab Food being delivered to our location. Carmina had shared a 16oz Ube Taho for PHP 79.00 ($1.55) not including delivery fee and tip to the rider. The sago and syrup is in an individual container where you can add on to what you feel. Manang V and Carmina have equal share on our Ube Taho from  Soy & Bean . How does it Ube Taho taste? Carmina and Manang V had enjoyed it being our favorite and having the sago and syrups gives us a healthy start for our day. NOTE: Carmina is not selling or advertising for Ube Taho from Soy & Bean.
