With over 15 tastings en-route, we'll embark on a culinary expedition of the world's oldest Chinatown, stopping by panciterias, hopia houses, and generations-old restaurants. At over five centuries old, Binondo has stood the test of time for local eateries, nestled at the heart of the culinary marriage of Filipino-Chinese cuisine.
From sizzling sisig to flaky empanadas, thick stir-fried pancit noodles with crunchy lumpia spring rolls, to stewed beef kare-kare and roasted asado meats - this tour packs the punches as the unsung darling of the Southeast Asian menu.
On your moveable feast, we'll unveil historic recipes and the next generation of street food chefs, to understand another side to Manila. As dragons cling onto lamp posts, and incense burns next to Christian crosses, evenings in Binondo are historic vs cyberpunk, with spaghetti wires hanging over narrow streets where the jeepneys chug along - a world apart from the steel and glass skyscrapers of modern Makati.
Zigzag through Binondo, Ongpin Street, and Santa Cruz, visiting local eateries passed over generations, ending with a bellyful of memories (and newfound friends).
