Binondo Chinatown | Foodtrip 2022

After more than a year, nakapag update ulit ng blog! :D

I've been very busy lately, at pabalik balik kami ng Manila - Cavite for some errands. One time, my boyfriend and I had a chance to visit Binondo. Going to Binondo Chinatown is actually on our bucket list, and finally, nakulayan ang drawing! :D

Binondo is the first and oldest Chinatown in the world. At kung kakaibang foodtrip ang hanap niyo, I recommend Binondo Chinatown. Here you can try various Chinese food.
In this blog, ishe-share ko sa inyo yung mga nasubukan namin, na pwede niyo rin i-consider on your visit in Binondo Chinatown.

Ying Ying Tea House

Ying Ying Tea House is located along Dasmariñas St., corner Yuchengco St., Binondo, Manila. The place seems so popular kase pagdating namin doon, mahaba na ang pila sa labas. 

Ying Ying Mixed comes with roast duck, pork asado, white chicken, lechon kawali, salted egg, and a cup of rice. A must try! Price: Php 210

Roast duck and lechon kawali with 1 cup of rice. That lechon kawali is sooo good! Price: Php 190

Buchi, another one you shouldn't miss here in Yin Ying. Price: Php 105 / 3pcs

Panalo yung rice meals nila, as in! Big serving pa. We also tried their yellow mango shake, and it's sooo good! Real fruit yung gamit nila, guys. Babalik kami dito for sure.

Dong Bei Dumplings

Located at 642 Yuchengco Street, Dong Bei is best known for their dumplings. Kaya naman pala laging pinipilahan, talagang masarap ang dumplings nila. We tried their boiled kuchay with pork dumplings for Php 200 / 14pcs. First time ko maka-try nito, and this is not going to be the last for sure. During pre-pandemic, open sila for dine in. Ngayon, pick ups and take outs na lang.

Big Bowl Noodles

My boyfriend wanted me to try Big Bowl Noodles, also located along Yuchengco Street, kase masarap daw ang noodles nila. Well, tama siya. At ang lalaki ng servings, good for 2-3 pax! May na-take out pa kami dahil hindi namin naubos.

Beef brisket noodle soup. Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng ganito kalaking noodle bowl that's for 1 serving only. Para sa akin, it's good for 2-3 pax. Price: Php 170

Chicken fried noodles. Another big plate! Price: Php 190

Steamed dumplings. Di ka lugi dito dahil siksik sa laman. Price: Php 150 / 10pcs

Spicy fried tofu. Not spicy for me. Eto yung para sa akin, pwedeng kanin at ulam in 1, for one serving. Price: Php 120

Mei Ying

Mei Ying is located at Chinatown Walk, sa labas ng Lucky Chinatown Mall. They serve fresh Chinese lumpia, and sugarcane juice. That time we only tried the sugarcane juice, kase curious ako sa lasa niya. Iniisip ko kase pag sugar, sobrang tamis. Surprisingly, it's not too sweet, and it's so refreshing. 1 bottle costs Php 50.

Tea Brothers

Located at the right wing of Eng Bee Tin main branch, Tea Brothers offers milk teas and different variety of siopao. Here we tried their new flavor Ube Latte milk tea. I'm not a fan of ube, but this is really good and yummy! Price is Php 75 for a regular size, and Php 85 for large.

Ho-Land Chinese Delicacies

Ho-Land is just a few walks away from Big Bowl Noodles. We went here to buy some pasalubongs. Na-curious ako sa kanilang fortune cookie, never pa kase ako nakaka-try ng ganon. So I tried, and it tastes like sugar cone. 

Eng Bee Tin Chinese Deli

Eng Bee Tin is located along Ongpin Street in Binondo, Manila. Marami silang branch, and I think this is their main branch. Compare to Ho-Land, they have more variety here. We also went here to buy pasalubongs. 

Ilan lang ang mga ito sa mga pwede niyong subukan dito sa Binondo Chinatown. We're planning to visit again para sumubok ng mga iba pa. Remember to wear comfortable clothes, bring umbrella and water, as it is very hot in Manila. Tapos unli lakad pa kayo sa pagdi-discover ng mga makakainan. Always follow safety protocols, dahil pandemic pa rin. Binondo is very accessible, at may mga pay parking space available.
