Pi Breakfast and Pies




For my first ever Yelp event, I joined the Yelp Brunch Club at Pi Breakfast and Pies at The Grove by Rockwell. We ordered a number of their bestselling dishes like the Eggs Sammy, Wagyu Beef Sirloin Tapa, Caramelized Spam, and Pinoy Breakfast Platter. We also made sure to leave room for their cakes and pies - I mean, that's what they're known for, right? We got the following: Espresso Toffee, Orange and Lime, Smack Pie, Sugar-free Honey Pear Parmesan, Peanut Butter Honeycomb, Smores. It's funny how we ended up with more cakes and pies than real food, just shows how we all love desserts. The event was really more about hanging out and meeting new people than anything, but when has that ever stopped me from taking photos anyway? Haha

My favorite used to be the tapa - well at least that's what I'd always order at their Malingap branch. For some reason though, the tapa at this branch is sweeter, so now, I have a new favorite - the Caramelized Spam! Sure, it's still sweet, but at least it's intentional, not compared to the tapa. I think tapa is better when sour (and served with a side of vinegar), so yeah.

Onto dessert!

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of their Smack Pie. It's their version of Momofuku Milk Bar's bestseller and I absolutely loved it! It's P125 a slice, the cheapest among all the cakes/pies we've tried, but for me, it's the best one (followed by Orange and Lime, Peanut Butter Honeycomb, Smores, then lastly, Sugar-free Honey Pear Parmesan).
