10 BEST FOOD FINDS IN BINONDO MANILAThe list of great food finds in Binondo could go on all day, but Skyscanner sorted out Manila’s Tsinoy Community’s 10 best: 1. Lumpia Lumpia or vegetable spring roll, whether fried or fresh, is Binondo’s top best-seller. This vegetable roll is best served with peanut and garlic sauce (fresh Lumpia) or garlic vinegar (fried Lumpia).Fresh Lumpia from New Po Heng Lumpia House on Quintin Paredes Street.Two of the most popular among Lumpia-serving restaurants in Binondo are Po-Heng Lumpia House (along Quintin Paredes Street) and Quick Snack (along Carvajal Street). 2. DumplingsThere are a lot of dumplings available but a few stood out to prove to be tastier, like:xiao long bao or soup-filled pork dumplings, hakaw or shrimp dumplings, and sharkfsin. Xiao long bao is soup solidified into jelly form mixed with meat fillings wrapped in dumpling dough, and then steamed.Hakaw or shrimp dumpling from Tasty Dumplings.For the best-tasting dumplings, check out Wai Ying Fastfood Restaurant and tryshrimp chong fun (rice noodle roll with shrimp pieces inside), Dong Bei Dumplings (Yuchengco corner V. Taytana Street), Tasty Dumplings (Ongpin Street). 3. Siopao A popular merienda in the Philippines, almost everyone is familiar with Siopao, which came with two different flavours: pork asado and bola-bola. Pork asado is pork cooked in sweet, soy-based sauce, while bola-bola is pork meatball. Siopao are steamed buns—well, the usual way many are accustomed to. But in Ongpin corner Bahama Street, Shanghai Fried Siopao serves…right, fried Siopao, as what its name gives away. For a non-fried option, Masuki (formerly ma Mon Luk) at Benavidez Street would be happy to serve you. 4. Hopia Hopia is something you must try when you visit Binondo. This bean-filled pastry with mongo as its well-known flavour has soft sugar crust and rich filling. Hopia is a sweet—literally and figuratively—and inexpensive treat that everyone will surely love. There are also other flavours to choose from.The number one Hopia-selling store in Binondo is Eng Bee Tin (Ongpin Street), but Ho-Land Hopia (Neuva Street) also aims to impress. 5. Kiampong Kiampong is fried rice invented by the Filipino Chinese of Binondo. It is made of sticky rice mixed with slices of mushroom that gives it a dark, earthy flavour, and soy sauce. If you desire, you could add chives, Chinese sausage, peanuts and mustard. It goes well with pork adobo or goyong, a type of sausage drenched in sweet and sour sauce. Kiampong is served at Café Mezzanine in Yuchengco Street. 6. Fried Chicken Tasty fried chicken from Sincerity Cafe on Yuchengco Street. Fried chicken—cut to pieces to make it tastier and crispier—hard to resist. Most restaurants in the area have fried chicken as their specialty, one even famous with serving it with two sauces (ketchup and chilli). Its goodness goes well with rice, at a reasonable price. Not exactly Chinese, but nevertheless a best find especially served at Sincerity Café in Yuchengco Street. 7. NoodlesSizzling Noodles from President Grand Palace, Ongpin Street. Craving noodles? You can find every kind of cooking method for noodles here in Binondo. Pancit canton, miki-guisado, bihon, seafood fried noodles, name it. And almost every restaurant has a noodle recipe on the menu. But only a few impressed many people’s taste buds—Ling Nam Noodle Parlor (Alonzo Street), Big Bowl Noodles (Yuchengco Street) and Lan Zhou La Mien (Benavidez Street). 8. Ji Gong BaoA hotpot style from Chonquing, China, Ji Gong Bao is not the usual shabu-shabu. The bowl served to you does not contain soup; it has a braied meat dish of your choice (chicken, beef, lamb, pork ribs or frog legs) instead. After you consumed all the meat pieces, the soup gets poured in and the sauce and bits of meat will then add flavour to it, then you can add your shabu-shabu items in and wait for it to cook. 9. Szechuan Water-cooked beef Szechuan water-cooked beef from Rosso on Ongpin Street, Binondo. Soft beef slices that have a chewy consistency coated with the right amount of spice, Szechuan water cooked beef could appeal one with an eye for spicy food. The beef may look revolting with its colour much more so because of its surrounding dried chili, but it’s delectable once you had a taste. 10. Szechuan Twice-cooked Pork This not-so-cheap Szechuan dish gets to prove its worth in your taste buds. Szechuan twice cooked pork is made of thinly sliced pork belly (Sam Gyup Sal) that is then cooked with vegetables. A true best food find that goes well with plain rice. This Szechuan dish, along with the water cooked beef and Ji Gong Bao can be enjoyed at Rosso Asian Kitchen located at Gandara Street.Roaming the busy streets of Binondo may be annoying, but a stomach filled with good food can take away any negative vibe. Bring this list on your next visit, it may come in handy. www.skyscanner.com.ph
