Binondo Eats

When people say Binondo, I immediately think about food. Actually, I think most people associate Binondo with food because there are so many good restaurants and shops located there. I am sharing some of the food stops we made when we went there last week.

1. Sincerity Cafe and Restaurant - the place was packed since we got there just in time for lunch. We ordered their famous fried chicken and oyster omelet. Yum!

Sincerity Fried Chicken 8 pcs P150

Oyster Omelet p240

Sincerity Cafe and Restaurant is at 497 Yuchengco St. Binondo, Manila
241-9991

2. Carvajal Street- So many yummy treats in this alley. I forgot to take note of the names but we stopped by a small bakery that sold baked goodies like this green apple bun (p20) and another stall that sold kuapao and fried siopao.

3. Po Heng Lumpia House - I loved everything in this restaurant! And I'm not just talking about the food... I really liked the colors of the walls, the patterns, the art deco style and their pet cats (they have 3 cuties!)

I'm not sure but someone told me that the Uy Su Bin Building used to be a hotel before. Pretty cool, huh? For some reason though, this place reminded me of Singapore - particularly the old shops along East Coast road.

The lumpia here is amazing :) only P45 per serving!

New Po-Heng Lumpia House
531 Quintin Paredes Street, Binondo (inside Uy Su Bin Bldg)
241-8789

4.) Eng Bee Tin and Ho-Land - Definitely the best places to get your tikoy and hopia fix!

I got free Hopia from both stores since I had The Big Binondo Food Wok Map with me :) But of course we ended with more stuff than just the free hopia.

5.) Savory - We didn't plan to stop by Savory anymore since we always eat here (we love their fried chicken!) but since the boat schedule changed we decided to wait here and have dessert. I think this is their pioneer branch and it has been open since the 1950's!

no jollibee? try jolly-v!

i have been craving for andoks and jollibee for the longest time. unfortunately, since the two food chains do not have branches here the next best thing is JOLLY-V in Lau Pasat! Yay! I actually laughed out loud when i saw the menu because it looks so similar to the jollibee menu! May burger steak and palabok pa! The only thing different aside from the price is that they also serve pizza (ala 3M).

Meals range form 5 to 7 sgd... a bit expensive if you compare to jollibee prices though. I ordered the 7 sgd (P 221) palabok and chicken meal (Palabok bersaya Ayam) and was pleasantly surprised that it actually tasted like the real thing! The Palabok noodles were just thicker but aside from that the taste was spot on. Cool. Jolly V Fried Chicken is located at Lau Pa Sat, Boon Tat Street Singapore. Near Raffles Mrt.
