  • We have been told to visit Chinatown in Binondo since the day we arrived in The Philippines, and now we have finally had the chance! We got a ferry down the Pasig river directly to what we have heard is the oldest Chinatown in the world.

    When Filipinos go to Chinatown for good food, we go to old restaurants that don't look new or fancy. It's mostly in old buildings but had built a reputation for serving authentic Chinese cuisine. King Chef Restaurant inside Lucky Chinatown Mall, on the 2nd floor, is one of the few famous modern restaurants offering savory Chinese food. If you were looking for Filipino food, Chinatown was the wrong place to be looking for it.

    On Carvajal St, there is a Fresh Lumpia store called New Po Heng. Always ask the locals and they will help you. The other restaurants on that side is something I have mentioned too a while ago.
    You can comeback there and start the crawl

    Binondo doesn't have too many streetfood stalls. What it has are food stores and restaurants. For instance, that place with a long line outside is right beside a diner that serves good Chinese food.

    Hello Dion n Louie 😘 I guess you don’t watch any vloggers who have been to Chinatown. I see them buy the fresh lumpia and they really enjoyed it. There’s this store where you can buy fresh egg tarts and supposedly so so good as the one in Portugal. You saw the Eng be tin store. Their specialty is Hopia with different fillings like ube, monggo, langka, ube with macapuno (my fav ), etc

    Come back some other time. There are lots of food areas in Binondo. You should try Eng bee tin and other food stalls there. Lucky Chinatown is jist a mall. Spend more time in Binondo and you will find more food there. I suggest you book a food tour to get the best food in the area

    Binondo church architecture was paterned after a Chinese pagoda with red Bricks built during the colonial times. It will be quite hard for tourist to do the food crawl on their own coz the authentic Filipino -Chinese heritage restaurants and stalls are scattered all around narrow streets and atleys being an old town, and the oldest Chinatown for that matter, It is better to get a proper tour guide that will take you to the sumptuos food stalls and will enlighten you of the history and culture of Binondo at the same time.

    No kidding, you'd find more of "authentic" Chinese food in Manila's Chinatown (rather, the Philippine-side "authentic" Chinese food as the popular restos there serve it, like New Po Heng fresh lumpia, Chinatown-style; Sincerity Café, and the numerous tea, dumpling and noodle "houses"). Since some are small, family run eateries, you'd likely eat their food in the street.
    Well, nothing beats a free ride (and always, a new discovery) from one part of Metro Manila to another =D Cheers ü
    PS. Louie has mostly been hilarious in through the walk in this vid _("…Christmas from September to…June" etc.)_
