Happy Pi Day!

Happy Pi Day! To celebrate today's Pi Day, hubby and I went to Granville Island Public Market in search of pie. I didn't know that there's a store that specializes in the cake! It's like pie heaven.

Coconut Cream Pie, Banana Cream Pie, Blueberry Pie, and Apple Pie

Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Meringue Pie, Pecan Pie, Raspberry Rhubard Pie

A La Mode

Located inside the Public Market, A La Mode offers a wide selection of homemade sweet and savoury pies. Whether you’re after a toasty beef pot pie or a sweet slice of lemon meringue, we’ve got what you’re looking for. Enjoy a slice in the market or take a whole pie home to share.

My Pick

We decided to try Pecan Pie (my fave) and Apple Pie (because it's safe). Our assessment is pecan pie over apple pie, but it was the BEST apple pie we EVER tried. I don't know why, but in the Philippines, when we try apple pie, it always seems sour.

Pi Day story

In my last 2 years in the Philippines, we celebrate Pi Day with a dear friend. Unfortunately, around our neighbourhood, there's not one pie source, and we always end up eating at fast-food chain Jollibee because they have Peach Mango Pie, which is not really a pie. I am not sure what type of pastry it is.

Meanwhile, last year, I decided to buy a pie from Save on Foods. It was better than I expected to come from a grocery store, but it was not as delicious (not even close) to the Pecan Pie from A La Mode.

Lunch at Sushi Go

I hate how much I like this place, and I hate how much I enjoy their simple ramen. It's a guilty pleasure.

Dinner at Triple O

I missed Triple O. When I was leaving with my parents in Richmond, Triple O is the closest food source to us, and I always go here to eat my stress away after a long day at work.

At my current place, there's no Triple O nearby, and I miss it terribly, so every chance I get, we eat here.

Birthday Dinner at Benkei Ramen

We celebrated hubby's first birthday in Canada with ramen! It's perfect for the cold weather tonight.

Shoyu Ramen
Chashu, spinach, nori, green onion, and bamboo shoots on a flavourful clear chicken broth simmered to perfection. A new take of the traditional Japanese soup base.
