Binondo Food Wok Part 3: Binondo Bites



With the help of the Big Binondo Food Wok Map, we have sample of different and the much-talked about specialties of Chinatown. It is really a one-stop map. It has a budget guide and the the "word-of-mouth" were marked with stars with their respective specialties.

What's Chic?
Dong Bei Dumplings



Dumplings and Chinese Pancakes can be fried or steamed stuffed with chives, celery, cabbage, pork, shrimps and other veggies.




We also witnessed how the dumplings and pancakes are made.




We also ordered this cold tea.

I like the fried dumplings versus the steamed.
