About ube cheesecake

Ube cheesecake swirls ube, the Filipino purple yam, usually as sweet ube halaya or flavoring, into cream cheese. The figures here come from two Korean bakeries’ ube Basque-style cheesecakes, about 300 per 100 g; a New York–style ube cheesecake with a graham crust is denser, closer to cheesecake at about 400 per 100 g.

In PlateDiary

A rough number for the dishes you save — only if you want one.

Off unless you turn them on

Calories in PlateDiary are off unless you turn them on. Switch them on and, when PlateDiary AI reads your photo of the table, each dish gets one rough “~” number. Accept it or change it; a number you correct is remembered for that dish. With Calories off, the app looks exactly as it did before.

A read sends small pictures of the cut-out dishes, with the place's name as a hint — never the table photo, faces or your location. Calorie numbers never go to analytics, and nothing is written to a health app. PlateDiary AI starts with free tries; here is how it works.
