Pronounced uhi in Hawai'i and ubi in Filipino, the purple yam is present across Asia (known as a royal food in Tonga and known sometimes as "Moraga Surprise" in India).
Ube Halaya is a sweet "jam" made from boiling this purple yam with sugar. In the Philippenes it provides a usual player in the kitchen sink desert Halo Halo (thogh less prevelant in Hawai'i).
This short entry comes out of researching Halo Halo - and should balance the surplus of words found in the last entry.
