I'm trying to get some photos for this page and for the Siopao page. I have connections, they are just busy with school work. I actually have some Siopao at home .... Andrew Powell 21:32, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Differences from Taro

I never see Ube in smoothees at non-filipino restraunts. Its always taro. Why is this?

[edit] Reason

This is because Ube is a very different type of food that is uncommon in the west. These "non-filipino" restaurants have not been welcomely introduced because of its diversity. It may be the fact of cultural racism or difference that it is not used. Ube is a harmless and delicious "vegetable" that you can enjoy at almost any filipino restaurant or oriental market in treats or deserts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.62.155.146 (talk) 00:26, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
