Hubby and I went to Greek Day on Broadway today and enjoyed delicious food under the scorching heat. We decided to enjoy Greek food and ordered from the booth/stalls that sell them, so we skipped the mini donuts (even though it was tempting) and tornado potatoes and focused on finding traditional Greek cuisine.
Lamb Chop from Cretan Association
From the Cretan Association, we had lamb chops. We noticed that there are three stalls - one for lamb chops, another for chicken gyro, and the last one for pork. The line for all three is quite long, so we started with the lamb because it has the shortest line.
We ordered 1/4 kilo of lamb chop combo for $17.00. It included three pieces of lamb chop, tzatziki, fries, and pita bread.

The lamb is perfectly seasoned, and the pita bread is so soft. I want more perfectly cooked lamb. We only ordered 1/4 because we wanted room for other delicious eats.
Pork Souvlaki and Loukoumades from the Greek Orthodox Community of Surrey & the Fraser Valley
After enjoying our lamb chops and getting money from the ATM (because some booths are cash only), we lined up to get Pork Souvlaki. I'm a fan of meat in a skewer, but this one is tender and perfectly seasoned. My mouth is watering thinking about it.

I wish I had taken a better picture, but I devoured it way too quickly. We also ordered Loukoumades, a traditional Greek doughnut drenched in sweet honey syrup and topped with cinnamon and sesame seeds.

When you take a bite of the Loukoumades, the delicious syrup just bursts into your mouth and yet it's not overly sweet, which is a complete surprise.
Honey & Walnut Greek Yogurt from Thomakis
Our last food for today is Greek yogurt from Thomakis. For the last couple of weeks, we've been buying yogurt from the grocery because we received free granola during the RBC Run for the Kids, so we're pretty excited to enjoy Greek Yogurt today.
I chose Honey & Walnut Yogurt and had them add crumbs and was pleasantly amused to learn that honey and yogurt are the perfect pair.

It's such a perfect food day; the best part is I don't feel food coma. Although, I dread the walk back home because it's so hot.
