OLDEST CHINATOWN in the WORLD! 🇵🇭 Food in Binondo Manila, Philippines 😋

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

We thought it was so cool that the Philippines has the oldest Chinatown in the world! We enjoyed exploring this area and trying different foods ! ❤😊🇵🇭 What is your favorite Chinese-Filipino food??

[@nathblanca6280]

Toad siopao and kikiam are the best 😋😋

[@momlifefoodandtravel4376]

I love any kind of dumplings!❤😋

[@TravelDad77]

The Chinese donuts are yummy!❤😋

[@eatsmylifeYT]

​@@nathblanca6280The frog siopao is much better.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

For Filipino-Chinese food, you should go to Classic Savory or Mann Hann restaurant. They can usually be found in most malls. There's a Mann Hann in Market!Market! Mall in BGC. Pancit Canton (chow mein noodles), salt and pepper spareribs, camaron rebosado (battered prawns), and lomi (egg noodles) are the usual favorites.

We live pork and Mango so we need to try those versions! 😋

[@Cosme27]

I'm happy to see the kids try different foods in the Philippines, they will never forget this experience !

[@tomasiturralde4705]

Chinatown or Ongpin, as it is called by the locals, is a fantastic place for Chinese food find 😋 the kids seem to enjoy the dumplings ,siopao and sorbets. Connor & Logan are good with their jokes😆. The overhead electric wires are truly a sight for sore eyes but it serves its purpose because of the heavy rain and floods coming soon. Take care.

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

It was a fun area to explore! We would have liked to stay a little longer, but the kids were hot. Maybe we should wait until the sun goes down next time..☺️

[@LETSDO8]

that was fresh lumpia😊

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

We liked the fresh Lumpia but still prefer the fried 😋

[@sabugdalantx]

I forgot to add - Planning a trip to Cebu, the Queen City of the South? Don't just pack your swimsuit for swimming with whale sharks, one of the planet's biggest fish! Cebu is also a haven for foodies. Be sure to try their mangoes, renowned for their sweetness and rivaling the famous Guimaras mangoes from another Philippine island. Cebu also boasts some of the country's best lechon, a slow-roasted whole pig with a crispy, crackling skin and incredibly flavorful meat. In fact, the late Anthony Bourdain himself declared Cebu's lechon "the best pig ever.

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

We will not be able to include Cebu this trip, but it is on our list for the next trip for sure. There is so much history we want to see that we are planning on coming back to the Philippines later this year. We are going to be in Bohol next where we will swim with the Whale Sharks!🦈🦈 We did try the Lechon other places, and it was great, but we will try it in Cebu to compare!❤️🇵🇭😋

[@sabugdalantx]

@WorldFamilyExplorers ah, hopefully you guys gets to visit again.

[@oilairnalo]

@@WorldFamilyExplorers Lechon is standard in the Philippines. Every variant is yummy as long as charcoal is used.

[@haynacute]

Hope you're enjoying your trip to the Philippines.

I love the mung bean hopia the best. Although, I also love ube for other desserts. They have so many different flavors now. The kids would love the egg tarts.

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

There were so many to choose from, that place was huge! ❤️😋

You guys, much thanks for being game in trying the binondo food. It shows in your faces that its something new for you and that is okay....we appreciate it nonetheless ❤❤

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

Thank you! ☺️ We love to try new things or we'll never know if we like or not. Luckily, we did find some things we liked. The heat was definitely getting to the kids, and they would rather be in an air-conditioned restaurant eating pizza! 🤣😂

[@yanadventures]

@@WorldFamilyExplorers yup....the heat mist be agonizing for you guys....here's a tip: hats don't work in the 🇵🇭...bring a foldable umbrella....always stop by a store or shop and drink plenty of cold water....never do your excursion between 8:00am-3:00pm. Always bring a face towel to wipe sweat, find a shade to get away from heat....and lastly, custard is not the original and classic hopia....it's MONGGO or MUNG BEAN.....much similar with custard, but custard is just recent...

[@VivaciousStrutting]

Yes I am 4th in the comment❤❤❤ lol

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

Thank you so much for subscribing, hope you enjoy our videos! ❤️☺️

[@lrzlag4220]

The lumpia that you got in this video is called lumpiang Sariwa or fresh lumpia. There are 3 popular varieties of lumpia, fresh lumpia with a garlicky peanut sauce,lumpiang Shanghai which is the small egg rolls which usually have the ground pork that you dip in sweet and sour sauce and the last one is the lumpiang gulay which is with veggies that you dip in vinegar.

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

Thank you for the info! We love trying all the different kinds. This was the first time we ever had the large, fresh ones! ❤️😋

[@velky_reeds]

"lumpia" is basically an umbrella term for these dishes wrapped in lumpia wrapper: lumpiang shanghai - (fried) pork fillings lumpiang togue - (fried) beans/carrots (meat-free) lumpiang sariwa - (fresh lumpia) carrots, lettuce, etc. with sweet sauce ​@@WorldFamilyExplorers

[@Mao-Digs-Escariote]

I think the kids would love Dreamworks Dreamplay in city of Dreams near SM mall of Asia and Ayala Mall by the bay

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

Thank you so much for the recommendation, we will check it out! ❤️☺️

[@emmans05]

I think one of the crunchy ingredient on the Fresh Spring Roll (Lumpiang Sariwa) is the heart of palm or locally called ubod.

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

Cool, whatever it was, it was good! They could answer what the sweet ingredient was we were tasting. Would the heart of the palm be sweet? 🤔

[@toriahmyworld]

​@@WorldFamilyExplorersor the crunchy and sweet ingredient is the Turnip 😊

[@isreeramotar3868]

You guys did a wonderful tour of China Town ❤but you missed the # 1 spot…Lord Stow’s bakery 🧁 right next to the Hopia store,the best egg tart in the World 🌎 I was there in March, and I went there especially for those tarts…well next time! Enjoy and stay away from the hot sun 🌞 😊I’m home 🏠 in NYC 🇺🇸going back in August for the 8th year in a row!

We would have explored more if we didn't have the kids out but the heat was killer!🌞🔥🔥 We will be coming back to Manila again and we will look for those tarts! 😋

Stepdad Ken this is the place where spanish colonial seperate the chinese from filipinos they are either mainland china or they have wife/husband in binondo Did you try sugar cane juice, peking duck,mooncake or local made hopia Theres a binondo church where locals worship

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

We would love to try all those! We had the Hopia but need to try fresh homemade like you are recommending!☺️

[@pauliejojo8241]

Let them visit Intramuros, Manila Zoo, Okada Manila, City of Dreams, Star City, Mall of Asia, Ayala Museum, Greenhills, and Market Market in BGC, since these are the famous landmarks good for children to visit here in Greater Manila. Outside Manila, the nearest are: Enchanted Kingdom and the Sky Ranch & Picnic Grove in Tagaytay.

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

Thank you forcall the great recommendations! ☺️ We stayed in BGC and we took the kids to the mind museum which they loved! We will save this list for future places to take them ❤️☺️🇵🇭

[@pcsixty6]

the original hopia is actually the mongo flavor. the two oldest flavors are the mongo (mung beans) and baboy (pork)

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

We don't know much about Hopia, just that it said originally flavor on the outside. Many have suggested we try the homemade version! So many fun flavors to choose from! 😋❤️

Welcome to the Philippines. Quick fact in the oldest Chinatown. This was a European (Spain, not Filipino) arrangement as they wanted to limit the mobility of immigrants and trade from China into their Territory. Nothing touristy or friendly in origin.. it's just districting as Spain wanted a central location for the Chinese traders to drop their goods which the Spaniards shipped to Europe. Enjoy.

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

Thank you for the info. It's great to see what it has tuned into and how the cultures have blended together peacefully. It seems as though the Philippines keep going in a good direction for the future!❤️☺️

The original hopia is not custard it’s Mongo or Mung Bean that is the original. It’s a Bean cake very Asian. You can find all kinds of bean cakes all over Asia. Yes oldest Chinatown is in Manila but the largest Chinatown outside of China is in San Francisco, CA.
