No map.
No clear destination.
One goal: try as many food in Binondo as our stomachs and wallets will allow.
How did we pick our stops?
By following our nose and gut.

Six stops and a bazillion calories after, we had to call it quits.
We were filled to the brim!
Good job!
(And nope, not one made me say yuck!)
PS Spotted dragon fruits, persimmons, grapes, pomegranates, plums, cherries, etc. on the sidewalk.
Wanted to buy cherries but couldn't afford it... Php 900 per kilo! Oh boo.
Maybe next time when I am not stuffed and my wallet is fat.
How bingeing in Binondo bore a hole thru Mustachio's pocket:
I don't want to know! For sure this is the most I have spent on food in one afternoon!
bet na bet ang dimsum platter!
ReplyDeleteyung Lido di ko masyado nagustuhan. or siguro iba ang panlasa ko. hehe
Oh we liked everything we tried!! Or maybe our taste buds were unconsciously thinking positively :)) Any other restaurant we should try next time we're in Binondo? Maybe I should get that Binondo Food Wok map I keep reading about.
