Recent Eats

Some photos from recent eats I've had. Two meals at an old standby and one meal at a freshly opened restaurant I've been following with bated breathe for months.



I ended up at Rakiraki twice in one week. Once for lunch with my aunt, the second with my boyfriend so a late night meal after a Saturday closing shift. I ended up with the sesame tofu don both times because it's just that good. We ordered the chinois custom gyoza Saturday night and, while small, the gyoza were delicious. Nice and moist inside and the gyoza casing had a slight chew to them. I really do need to try more things off their vast menu. Next up I plan to try their fried rice. I've been craving a good Japanese-style fried rice (chahan) ever since one of my childhood favorites closed down many years ago.

Pop Pie Co. soft opened the other week and I couldn't wait until their official grand opening. I'll admit, savory pies are one of my favorite foods and I've been waiting for what seems like years to my food addicted mind for Pop Pie Co. to open. 

The soft opening menu was limited but we snagged a steak and ale pie, chicken pot pie, gravy with mashed potatoes and creamed corn. Everything was delicious and you know that a pie crust is good when it's still light and flaky after sitting in a pie warmer! $8 for a pie may seem like much but the pies are quality and will fill you up. With a side a meal ends up being $11. I hope they end up doing a mince pie. I'd love to see how it stacks up to The Bronzed Aussie up in Los Angeles.

Pop pie Co. officially opens tomorrow October 8th.
