Kutchay Dumplings @ P100
When deciding to have a food tripping tour in Binondo, Dong Bei Dumplings is a restaurant that should be visited. It is a small restaurant along Nueva Street that serves luscious dumplings and noodles Northern China style. The good thing about Dong Bei is that they make their own dumplings and noodles. You can even see them doing it when you visit their restaurant.
They are best known for their Steamed Kutchay Dumplings. This is best paired with their sauce. It’s very cheap actually, 1 order is composed of more than 8. You can also buy the frozen dumplings which you can enjoy at the comfort of your own home. Continue reading →
Fried Chicken @ around P150 half order
A Fried Chicken may sound so common for us to visit a restaurant in Binondo called Sincerity Restaurant, they are the masters of making the common fried chicken extraordinary. For us, this is the best chicken in town. Better than foreign brands that we know of.
Sincerity’s fried chicken is crispy yet tender and juicy. That is the way we like our fried chicken because some may offer crispy fried chicken, yet the meat is dry. Continue reading →
We were looking for restaurants to eat around Greenbelt 5 that was not that really expensive. And so, we found ourselves inside Solihiya. Solihiya is a fusion of Filipino and Chinese. We were supposed to try the Lechon Macau Salad but I insisted on the Sizzling Bulalo Steak which is already good for two.

We have been invited to participate in a Shabu-Shabu 101 that was initiated by Ms. Candy Hwang owner of Healthy Shabu-Shabu in Shangri-La Mall ( Mandaluyong) last night. Karla and I knew that we are expected to cook our own food as what we did in our previous food trippings of other Shabu-Shabu restaurants, now at least we learned new things from the experts
Let me first describe the difference in eating Shabu-Shabu than in a usual restaurant. First, a Shabu-Shabu restaurant has a different type of table wherein it has some burners under it ( other restaurants would have an LPG tank under/ beside the table) because this requires heat in order to proceed with the cooking. Second, there ‘paraphernalia’ needed in Shabu-Shabu such as Chinese soup spoon (or White Spoon), soup laddle and strainer. Third, if you are in a hurry this isn’t for you. You need to be prepared to be inside the restaurant in about an hour or more. Also, be ready to smell like food ( you know, like being in a fastfood court) since you will be cooking your own food.

We always would frequent to Glorietta 4′s Food Choices to have some quick fix for our hunger. Even though we’ve been eating there quite a lot, it’s actually our first time to try President’s Tea House Express there. It was right beside Meister’s. The food seems enticing since they have dimsum, Yang Chow and other Chinese dishes. I thought that I was not in the mood for Chinese but when I saw their prices, it seems enticing. They have value meals for those who are on tight budget.
I decided to order their dimsum+Yang Chow meal. I chose siomai as my dimsum and then ordered an extra iced tea. The meal actually is priced at Php 96.00.
On the other hand, Karla ordered 1 dish+ steamed rice meal ( also priced at Php 96.00,you would need to add Php 10.00 if you’re going to select the dishes included with that addition). She ordered Lemon Chicken as her dish. We also added some mini asado siopao on the side
So all in all, we paid about Php 329.00 for all of these including the drinks. It was a quick Chinese food fix for us. We’re really full and it’s a great deal if you’re craving for Chinese fastfood.
