Lunch (new items) at Purple Yam

Cua Pao is the Filipino-Chinese version of the pork belly in a steamed bun

It’s been awhile since we first did lunch almost a couple years ago.   At the time, we felt that no one would really miss it, but once in awhile I would get email messages asking when we would do lunch again.  So here we are with a new menu and hope that you will stop in, taste Romy’s cooking and chat with us.

We have decided to add a couple of BRUNCH items on our lunch: tapa, eggs & rice and Tocino, eggs & rice for our weekend brunch customers who want these even on weekdays!  I don’t blame them.
