The world’s oldest China town and the epitome of the past. There is no better
way to learn more about Binondo than doing an epic food crawl. Binondo is an
ideal place for gourmands who seek authentic Chinese food or perhaps authentic
Oriental fare. From pork dumplings to
Fried siopao , Binondo has it all. The next time you’re there,
try to check these restaurants/bakeries out.
It’s worth trying.
Lord Stow’s Bakery, home of Macau’s famous egg tarts. Literally, Macau’s egg tarts, because they are exported from Macau. Soft, creamy, it just melts in your mouth. Simply taking a bite is heavenly. These small tarts are light yet filling. Lord stow also offers other delicacies such as cakes, coffee, spreads and even soups!
Selling traditional Chinese delicacies since 1947, Salazar Bakery
deserves a visit. Actually, it is so famous that it is part of the Chinatown
Food Tour. It has all sorts of Chinese delicacies
from tikoy to mooncakes and an assortment of hopia .
Keeping up with the changing time , they also have breads and cakes. The
bakery is always filled with customers hoarding their favorites.
For the ultimate Hong Kong dining experience, Golden Fortune
Seafood Restaurant is the place to be. This classy restaurant serves authentic
Chinese cuisine such as siomai , dumplings
and shabu shabu as well as a wide variation of Asian dishes and
their “Paluto”. They are big hit as they offer a discount on all food after 9
pm. 50% discount on delectable food, who can resist that?
Shanghai fried siopao has been causing hype for decades
as it gives a twist on the traditional steamed white bun. It’s really not the
whole siopao that is fried but just the bottom of the mantou .
The masses are always crowding at this humble store to lay their
hands on this siopao even if they must wait in queue for 30 minutes.
Really cheap and undeniably delicious, the filling is generous, and worth every
penny. Besides their signature siopao , they also serve
dumplings, siomai and kikiam .
Cafe Mezzanine, also known as the fireman’s
coffee shop, as all the revenue of Cafe Mezzanine is donated to the Binondo
Paco Fire Search and Rescue Brigade. Thus, it is not a surprise to
see firemen’s helmet and memorabilia bedecking the place. Despite
that, it gives off a cool, homey vibe.
Café Mezzanine’s menu consists of
abundant choices of special soups and noodles, and of course, no restaurant
in Binondo will be complete without dimsum in their table d'hôte. One
of their house specials is the kiampong , which is a kind of fried rice
created by a Filipino-Chinese resident of Binondo
