Where to get Buko Pie in Vancouver?

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 below so I can include them on this list.

Guest Post: Lunch delivery from Ikura Sushi

This blog post is written by my only brother.

Lunchtime and we wanted to eat something different than our usual meals. Mom wanted to have Beef Teriyaki and my sister handled the online ordering and she found Ikura Sushi.

Our mom wanted to have Bento Beef Teriyaki and it didn't really matter to me what I got so I just ordered the same thing.

My sister ordered Chicken Teriyaki bowl for herself.

Filipino Food from Tasty Pinoy BBQ Skewers at iba pa

 It's the last day of the month, which means we can pigout. Today, we ordered lunch from Tasty Pinoy Skewers. As expected, we got too much food (is there such a thing?), which means we have food for the whole week (or at least, most of the week).

What to order from Tasty Pinoy BBQ Skewers?

Kwek-Kwek

I haven't had Kwek-Kwek ever since I was in the Philippines last February 2019, so I was really looking forward to eating Kwek-Kwek. And this one is delicious. I even sent a photo to my sister, who loves and misses this dish.

Pork BBQ

Saucy is the best word to describe their pork BBQ. It's delicious and hoped I ordered more.

Crispy Dinuguan

This is the surprise of all the things I ordered today. The Diniguan (pork blood stew) is good, but the bagnet on top made it excellent. I highly recommend this dish.

Creamy Kare-Kare

You can never go wrong with kare-kare (peanut butter stew) with bagoong (shrimp paste). It's delicious and creamy (as the name suggested). I can't wait to reheat and eat it with rice.

This delivery just made Monday 100x better. Thanks, Tasty Pinoy Skewers, for the food delivery. Check out their Facebook page for the menu, prices, and send them a message to place an order.

The Great Food Truck Race on Food Network map

I love the Food Network channel, and I'm currently binge-watching The Great Food Truck Race. I thought they're going to a lot of cities in different states; I wonder how it looks like on a map.

If you're curious, like me, check the pictures below.

Season 1 to 6

From Season 1 to 6, they're really going cross country.

Season 1

Season 2

Season 3

Season 4

Season 5

Season 6

Season 7 Family Face-Off

Starting Season 7, the travel is a bit more regional. For example, this season they only stayed in California.

Season 7

Season 8 Battle of the South

For this season, the travel is in the Southern States of Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, Tennesse, and Georgia.

Season 8

Season 9 Wild West

As you may have guessed from the "theme," the location for this challenge is the "west" (i.e California, Nevada, and Arizona).

Season 9

Season 10 Summer Beach Battle

For Season 10, the show travels along the east coast (i.e. South Carolina and Florida).

Season 10

Season 11 Holiday Hustle

This is the shortest season with only 5 episodes which means fewer cities as well.

Season 11

Season 12 Gold Coast

This season they're back in California and Nevada and it's the new season being promoted in Food Network, so be sure to catch the new episodes and where the food trucks are going. I can't wait!

Interactive Map

If you want to view a Google Maps version of seasons 1 to 10, you can view it here. Google My Maps has a limit of 10 layers that's why I need to create a new map for season 11 and 12.

Dinner from Sushivan Japanese Restaurant Vancouver

Happy Saturday! For dinner tonight, we went to pick up food from Sushivan Japanese Restaurant along Granville Street (at West Broadway).

If you've been reading my post (or if you search for Sushivan in this blog), you will notice that I am going through their Special Roll. I have tried the Alaska special roll and Awesome special roll.

Korean Style Ramen with Chicken

If you search my blog for "Sushivan", I always order Korean Style Ramen. When I crave for spicy Korean noodles I go to Sushivan.

Pad Thai from Miss Siam Food Truck

Hubby and I took a walk around the neighbourhood after lunch today. It's the first time in a long time (3 weeks) that we took a walk just for the sake of walking without doing a grocery run.

As we're on our way home along West Broadway, hubby spotted a food truck across the street - Miss Siam. We checked out the menu, and we're hoping to get something sweet, but they only have savoury dishes perfect for lunch.

Hello Miss Siam!

We ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, which we plan to enjoy for early dinner, but we end up eating as after lunch snack. It was delicious. I didn't expect quality, affordable Thai food so close to home.

The food truck is available at West Broadway and Birch on Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM to 2 PM.
