Have some pie
The pie that made the small bakeshop Banapple famous, especially among Quezon City residents: Banoffee. Think banana cream pie but the cream which holds the fresh sliced bananas together is caramel coffee; the cream on top is not just light whipped cream but a thick pastry cream; the cookie crust tastes like it's made of the cookie part of chocolate chip cookies, crushed and mixed with pure butter; then everything generously topped off with shaved dark chocolate. Heavenly! Or devilishly sinful, depending on how you look at it.

Oh my God.... This might be the best reason in the world ever to move to Manilla! To say I love banoffee is an understatement.
Cat Stevens had a hit many years ago called Banapple Gas. But I don't think it had anything to do with this bakeshop. Never mind.
OMG, that looks delicious. Have you ever considered working as a food critic. Your food descriptions make the mouth water.
DELICIOUS photo, Hilda! Could you drop a thick slice in the mail??
Happy New Year 2010 to you and yours!
Happy New Year too!
Perfect for the holidays...
Oh, now you've done it. I'm hungry for creme pie!!! Thanks so much. My waistline can't afford this LOL!
Delicious sounding pie. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Looks so yummy!! Ahhhhh...sweets...simply irrestible.
Manibagong Bagong Taon Ms. Hilda!
It's now close to four in the morning over here and I started to think about whether to make me something to eat - or not...
As you are about six hours ahead in time, I'd like to wish you all already a pleasant start into the new year, filled with love, health and happiness.
Anything "cream pie" is yummy!
ms hilda! glad you enjoyed the banoffee and thank you for writing about it :) happy new year to your and your family!!!
I think I gained five pounds just reading about this pie. But that wouldn't stop me from eating it if I ever got the chance!
I hope you and your family have a very Happy New Year.
My toothache is getting worse!! :((
wow, that looks so enticing! i;ve heard a lot about banoffee pie, but have never tried it; it's time i did!
Hummm cela semble bon...Je te souhaite une Bonne et Heureuse Année 2010....
This is not something to see at 9am...

Wishing you and yours a healthy and happy 2010; best wishes from Newcastle upon Tyne, Charles
I wish you Happy New Year !!!
I wish myself to watch more Manila's photos here in coming year ;-)
Now, I'm hungry!
By the way, a year ago Istarting posting my images and words and you WERE the first non-family member that I heard from half way around the world. A special 'thank you' to you... that got me going!
E-mail one of those to «Louis» NOW!
(please)
;-)
My mouth is watering like mad! I'll take a slice, and then seconds...oh, heck, I'll just eat the whole thing and then not eat again for a month!
Devilishly sinful, I couldn't have said it better :)
Happy New Year Linda for you and your family! All the best in 2010.
By now Hilda, Manila is celebrating the New Year! I hope yours is filled with all things good and that you continue to have time to blog and share the art and beauty of your country with the rest of us! More art and less food (I'm going on a diet! LOL).
Here's some old world music to ring in the New Year!

Manigong bagong taon, Hilda!
And a sweet and happy 2010 to you, too!
May 2010 bring happiness and joy to all. Happy New year!
Hi Hilda
Happy new year 2010.
Wishing you a year full of happy days.
Hilda, I hope your 2010 is filled with sweetness, too! Happy new year.
There you go, trying to fatten us up again Hilda. I'm going to lose my girlish figure. Oh wait, I never had one! Thanks for your concern and for commenting while I was away. I do appreciate it.
A truly Happy New Year to you and your family!
Wishing health, happiness and lots of cakes in 2010.
Man, this looks really good.
I love Banapple, not just their desserts but even their home-made meals! They're all worth your money, even the size of servings! :) They have a new branch in Katipunan - opposite street of the original branch right across Ateneo.
