I am craving for Filipino buko pie, but I don't know where's the best place to get one that will deliver to our home. I asked the Facebook group I belong to and below are their suggestions: Vancouver Restaurants with Buko Pie Kumare Restaurant and Bakery - They have a branch in Richmond, Delta, and Vancouver. Hapag Ihaw Ihaw Filipino Grill - Two people, recommended the buko pie from Hapag. They're located in Victoria Drive, Vancouver. Aling Mary's - They're located in Main Street, Vancouver, and I have ordered a buko pie from them in the past, but I know they don't deliver. Home-Based Online Vendor with Buko Pie Pinay Bakes - Facebook page - Two people recommended their buko pie. Ruby Lyn Dacanay - She's the first one to send me a private message and pictures of the buko pie, and it looks great. Do you know of other places in Vancouver that serve buko pie? Leave a comment
Happy Lunar New Year! We ordered our favourite Chinese dishes for lunch today from a new restaurant - Grand Chinese Restaurant in Yaletown.
We love beef rolls! The best one is still from Peaceful Restaurant, but this comes a close second. What's the difference? This one has a thicker wrap, but the beef and sauce are as delicious.
It's hard to judge the Xiao Long Bao when it's delivered and not fresh from a restaurant kitchen, but it's still good.
This is my favourite dish from Grand Chinese Restaurant and I give this the "award" of becoming my favourite Shanghai-style chow men. It's slightly sweet but has that great flavour. I don't think I have tried a Shanghai-style chow mein which I will crave and would want to eat again.
My favourite dan dan (tan tan) noodles is from Szechuan Chili because the sauce obviously has peanut butter which adds another depth of flavour I haven't encountered before. This one though has a lot of crushed peanut, but not as delicious as the one from Szechuan Chili.

I discovered that I prefer pan-fried pork buns over steamed ones. However, this one has more dough than filling.
