The Project Pie Experience

Image
While other couples fulfill their travel bucket list, the boyfriend and I are taking the simple and attainable things first that is, trying out good food from different restaurants which we have also read on social media sites. For yesterday's "Saturdate," we tried Project Pie. The ambiance is similar to Yellow Cab and Army Navy that the boyfriend thought it was another sister company but reading through their site, I discovered it is an internationally owned company franchised here in the Philippines. To set the expectation, it is not like the salad bar in Wendy's wherein you get to assemble your food on your own but rather, you instruct the artisan on what ingredients you wanted for your pizza.

What started out as a simple date at the San Agustin Church Museum, turned out to be the new born hobby of the boyfriend and I.

You got that right – Binondo. The boyfriend and I love to eat. No wonder we are gaining all these unnecessary fats. We are also one of the living proofs that any food, when shared with the one you love, becomes really delicious. So one fine day we decided to go to Binondo and try some of the specialties in famous restaurants located in the area that we found out from previous blogs. First stop: Lord Stow's Bakery Name of Food: Egg Tart Price: PhP 42.00 (2 pcs) Rating (1 lowest, 5 highest): 4 Verdict: It tastes like Egg Pie but the consistency is much smoother and of course the crust is thinner since it is a tart. Moreover, the sweetness is just right.
