Our Photo of the Day: Ayla Liberato
"It was a slow, lengthy afternoon. Around 5pm, I think. It wasn't even twilight, yet it was getting dark already. The murky clouds above the horizon and the cold whisper in my ears, tell me to sit, just sit.
Without delay, I grabbed myself a book from the shelf, sat on the floor, leaned my elbows on the lowered tables, and started to read its cover. It wasn't really a good book, I wonder, but the dim incandescent light above my head focused on it, as if I was getting a sign from heaven. Suddenly, it started to drizzle. The gentle drops of water on the roof started to sound like a music, like a soundtrack in a movie.
As I was getting ready to get to my feet to leave, a subtle smell stopped me. It was the sweet aroma from Katrina's kitchen, of her infamous brewed coffee, and also Joseph's crispy flaky pastry called, lemon pie. So I've decided to be seated for another hour or two. I have to stay longer for that small meal."
We would like to thank Ms. Ayla Liberato for taking the picture above She took time to take this wonderful and very tranquil photo of the Sagada Lemon Pie House. She surely captured our good friend's emotions and thoughts, the first time he stepped in our small friendly shop.

Our Photo of the Day: Mamee Presea
Today, we are featuring another Photo of the Day. We found this photo recently from Mamee Presea's photo vault, also in Flickr. We even later found out that she wrote a short review on our shop.
She said and we quote, "As the name says quite plainly, they serve the best lemon pies. Ever. The tangy, lemony taste of the pastry is paired best with a cup of hot mountain brew coffee." Funny thing is, the photo posted above is not a lemon pie. It is an egg pie. Haha. :)
We really love this photo. This shows the watery sweetness and also the smoothness of our egg pie, topped with meringue and honey. The photo looks so real and so delicious, we had to rush to our pie display cabinets just to satisfy our craving. It's funny that we craved on our own product right after seeing this photo.
The photo shows not only that the photographer enjoyed the food, but she also enjoyed her visit to the Lemon Pie House. She even has her own Flickr photostream and you may check her other photos by clicking here.
Our Photo of the Day: Julian and Ritzel
Today, we've decided to feature two Lemon Pie House photos.
"As a first time visitor, I read about rave reviews about a wonderful little shop tucked away in the mountains serving wonderful lemon pie. I initially wanted only a slice, but my friend was insistent in getting the whole pie and boy, I’m sure glad we got the entire pie. The custard was just right with a nice tang from the lemon that wasn’t overtly sweet and the crust was done just right, which didn’t overpower the wonderful lemony filling. Too bad I had only a day left in Sagada or else I would’ve been back for another. Perhaps on my next trip. By the way, loved the pie and the shop. Cheers." Julian Lai
This delightful photo of Manang Katrina is by far her best photo ever. Mang Joseph thought so too. This is pure nostalgia. The monochromatic effect added more quality to the picture. It makes me feel like I am just watching Manang Katrina working in their shop one day, bussing dishes on the table, waiting for the next costumers to come in. We thank Ritzel Marcelino, the photographer, for this photo.
Our Photo of the Day: Jonic Dao
This is a something new to this blog and maybe not new to most of us. We call this "Photo of the Day." Haha. Very original and fresh, I might add. :) Anyway, so this a new Lemon Pie House feature. We will randomly select a favorite LPH photo that we see from the Internet, and we will say what we think about it, on our personal point of view.
Today, we are featuring Jonic Dao's photo. This was one of the few Lemon Pie House photos that we found in Flickr a year ago. We really liked this photo so much. It reminds us of how the Lemon Pie House used to look like. On the outside, it was rustic and kind of shabby. Now, it is all yellow and cream, bright, and lively. This will always remind us of our very humble beginning.
What I also love about this photos is that, despite the house's texture, it shows its simplicity, and at the same time, grandeur, because of its camera's angle. It made us think that we are bigger than what we are. Well, we thank all of you who tirelessly support us. We will be forever grateful.
Jonic Dao seems to be a very passionate photographer. Judging by his photo archives, he seems to like to take photos of landscapes and sometimes, people. I really enjoyed browsing his photos. You may visit his page and see for yourself.
