This is good info. Not aware of Binondo Food Wok at all. I’ll check it out next time I go back to the Philippines. Besides the hopia, the other thing that I can remember from Binondo was the fastfood outlets along the “estero”. My brother buys a special chocolate “tablea” from there as well.

It’s a great tour. Enjoy!

At around 6:00PM of Dec. 23, 2009, We decided to eat at the President’s Tea House in Binondo. When the drink was served and taken a few sip, I noticed a COCKROACH in my drink!!! I immediately approach the head waiter and assistant manager to look into the incident. They did not deny instead admitted their fault. But admission was not enough, they should responsible for the cleanliness and proper sanitation of their establishment. Someone should be accountable for this incident. Since this is an issue of one’s health.

For this reason I’ll file a complaint at the Sanitation Division of Manila City Hall. This is a major violation since President’s Tea House is a Food Establishment.

When Mary and I were in the Philippines over the summer, we were lucky that her cousins were taking swimming lessons at the Binondo YMCA and we got to join them. I had two solid weeks of Eng Bee Tin, Holland, Salazar and the other little stores around, got some great dim sum and noodles, too. Fresh-made Hopia Ube, can’t remember the store name, but they were frying them right there in the store, hmmmmm, really yummy, a thousand times better than the frozen eng bee tin hopia ube warmed up in the microwave (what I have to settle for here in the us).

There were a lot of little stores that sold really good food! I’d like to go back to them sometime too. Is there a Chinatown where you live? I wonder if the hopia would taste the same.
