Amazing Chinatown experience! We were actually in Makati Manila for work but still got a chance to explore Manila on our weekend. So I called my cousin to tour me around as I am so unfamiliar with what, where and how in Manila, she agreed and I have requested for us to have a day Tour at Ongpin and China Town in Binondo Manila.
These are a few of my takeaways. I love Chinese (the real authentic ones) so the first hop is to eat authentic Chinese cuisine. We went to a restaurant forgot the name but I can see that it serve really good food as there are a lot of Chinese people eating there plus they speak in Chinese not sure if it's Mandarin or something else but that adds up to my experience. In this restaurant I love their Kikiam, Vegetable lumpia and Peking duck (forgot to take a pic when it's still nice on pics) but nonetheless it a great lunch. Went to China Town Mall and and some of the hot buns and dumplings and the famous Eng Bee Tin bakery for my pasalubong. Also I got some Charms from Ongpin for myself I got my citrine bracelet with piao for my daughter it's a jade rabbit bracelet and some for my officemate's based on their birth month or zodiac. All in all it's a memorable experience but next time I need to book a hotel near the area as it's so expensive going home from Chinatown to Makati.
That's all for today. Please follow me @iamfaith for my next post...
