Oldest Chinatown in the World (another epic food tour) 🇵🇭

What we got up to in this video...
Welcome to the oldest chinatown in the world! What an incredible place jam packed with incredible food. We booked in another tour with our friend Jian and he took us around helping us eat our way through Binondo.
We absolutely loved the small backstreets bustling with people and most importantly FOOD! We tried some delicious things and the flavours are some of the best we have had yet.

We LOVED our trip to The Philippines and we went to 14 different places in total from going all the way up North to Vigan, to the islands down South with the bluest water we have ever seen! 🇵🇭 We enjoyed many adventures together in this beautiful country and tried as much food as we could fit in too! We would really appreciate any recommendations and ideas for our next trip, anything we missed? Where do you think we’d enjoy exploring next?

Awesome 👏 👍 😍

[@Onthemovetravelstories]

Thank you!😁

[@moondustgirl2132]

Jian is a great food tour guide. There's another one, forgot his name. But he was the one the late Anthony Bourdain hired for his 'No Reservation' show's PH episode. Anyway, i just love your positivity guys. Even the things you don't like, you still manage to see the good in it. Or just simply not make a big a deal out of it (like the loud noises for example, or the traffic.) But yeah, nice to see that almost all the food you tried was a 10/10 for you. Also, great to know you still have a lot of PH content coming. :)

[@Onthemovetravelstories]

Jian has been brilliant and really helped us throughout our travels also👌🏼 thank you so much and we are very excited to share the rest of our adventures in the Philippines, we hope you enjoy them too☺️ thank you for all your support 🤩

[@thelmsrmallada1125]

Yeah I became a fan of Gian, because his very detailed when introducing a food, unlike the other guy with Mark Wiens and told Mark that it was his 1st time eating fishball and he was born and raised in the Philippines and his old also there's a Filipino teenaged kid with Luke Damant and it was his 1st time visiting Binondo 😅

Nice vlog, I was salivating while watching your videos and I'm about to sleep. 😅

[@Onthemovetravelstories]

Ahaa thank you😂 hope you woke up and enjoyed some yummy food!😁

[@TheOverthinkerMe]

It's a good thing that you took Binondo for your next food adventure and you got Jian for the second time around! Getting a tour guide has its advantage as you have a set itinerary to follow. No need to look for the go-to places and you get to know the info explained and almost anything you may want to ask Jian. Good choice! You guys have good trip organization. It's like you know which places to go. You are way better than any travel vloggers I have watched! Awesome guys! As usual, see you in the next video!

[@Onthemovetravelstories]

[@Onthemovetravelstories]

So many 😍 and thank you!

[@manbibar4299]

🇵🇭❤️Nice! Enjoying Chinese food. Since you're in Manila, try going to the Dampa Seaside Market along Roxas Blvd where you can buy fresh raw seafoods of your choice and have them cooked at an adjacent resto you like. Then head for the new man-made Dolomite white beach around 5-6pm and enjoy the sunset. You can make a side trip to OKADA in the evening around 7 pm and see dancing fountains and Cove Manila.🇵🇭❤️

[@manbibar4299]

I see you're with the Streetfood man. Lucky guy, he seems to have a monopoly of his unique job.🥳

[@LuvMyLilBabe]

@@manbibar4299 Dampa so overrated and overpriced waste of time. Just go to a normal wet market (much cheaper, won't rip you off) buy your seafood there and get a carinderia or a restaurant to cook it

[@manbibar4299]

@@LuvMyLilBabe If you know the prices, they're almost the same in the ordinary wet market and the cooking fee is even a little bit less with all of the veggies and condiments included. We've been there so many times...😊

[@manbibar4299]

@@LuvMyLilBabe ...and besides, it is very near the tourist attractions and places to see. Convenience is important. I think they can take a free bus ride at SM MALL OF ASIA going to OKADA HOTEL. Just ask the security guards.

Great experience which other tourists usually miss. Great food from Chinatown-Manila.

[@Onthemovetravelstories]

It sure was incredible 😊

[@angelotimonera7967]

Hi Alice and Jess, its really a challenge for every foreigner trying eating the chicken feet but it has a really different experience when you eat it. Anyway, I know you all did enjoyed your trip in china town. I lived here in San Francisco CA and always shop here at china town and comparing the Manila china town is better than here in San Francisco. Next try our famous KARE-KARE at Barrio Fiesta restaurant!

[@Onthemovetravelstories]

Ok we will have to try that thank you 😊 and thank you for the comment 😊

[@erikmichael3493]

It's great to see you gals again. Yeah, that chicken feet doesn't look too appetizing no matter how it's marinated and cooked. There's so many other authentic Chinese food that could have been more appetizing. Oh well.

[@Onthemovetravelstories]

We gave it ago 😂 it was delicious!

[@erikmichael3493]

Love that adventurous spirit about you gals. Thumbs up and I'll keep following your vlogs. Thanks.

[@polgonzales]

I guess one gets bragging rights for eating chicken feet- I like em. But I would have suggested the Ham Soi Kok. Good job!

[@Onthemovetravelstories]

Ok maybe we can try that next time 🤩

[@nessgabe1050]

Visit rockwell and okada hotel night light watershow

[@Onthemovetravelstories]

We heard this was amazing 🤩

[@MarkMarcelo0210]

Well done! Booking a food tour in Binondo gives the best experience. That guy also do a Filipino Street food tour. He really knows his food. Ive been watching your adventures in the Philippines sjnce day one. One thing I should point out is the audio. I think you should use a noise cancelling mjcrophone. Some parts of video the outside noise such as traffic is louder than your voice. Looking forward for more adventures in the Philippines. Cheers!

[@Onthemovetravelstories]

Jian is the best we actually have already done the Filipino food tour with him which was amazing (It’s one of our videos if you want to check that out too😁) so we just had to book another as we love our food and he made the tour even better! Thank you so much for your support😁🥰

[@Onthemovetravelstories]

Unfortunately we don’t have the budget to buy any equipment, but we would love to upgrade in the future hopefully if our channel does well🤞🏼

[@chasingpax1111]

okayyyy now you made me miss the indo tofu, fried siopao and the dumplings there. i have to hit up my friends to have them share the calories with me.

Good idea to go with a food tour guide ? Where are you spending New Year’s Eve ? I suggest Eastwood city in Quezon City . They have a concert and a great fireworks display

[@Onthemovetravelstories]

Thank you so much for the recommendation but unfortunately we won’t be spending new years in the Philippines! We have already planned our trip back though 😊

[@homerbulos]

Crazy that these dishes were being served since the 1900s. 😂😊
