Dong Bei Dumplings in Binondo

I’ve been reading about Dong Bei dumplings from various bloggers since last year but every time we go to Binondo, we always ended up eating at President’s Tea House.  The reason is we can’t find Dong Bei’s location from our few attempts, good thing the foodie-in-me kept on insisting to search for one of Binondo’s best kept secrets.

Dong Bei is located at 642 Yuchengco St., from Binondo Church, walk down Ongpin St. and turn left at Yuchengco St. Dong Bei is next to a dress shop and it’s nearing the dead end of the street. Although the restaurant’s facade seems uninviting and unappetizing for a Chinese restaurant for that matter, based on the raves I read, it must be worth it.

Chicken Mami House

A cold, rainy and windy day deserves a hearty hot bowl of soup. We just had Spicy Beef Noodles from Chowking the other day and this time in Trinoma, we were surprised to see a new resto at the Cinema levels, the Chicken Mami House. It’s between Mexicali and Jamaican Patties so moviegoers won’t miss it. The simple name says it all, MAMI! We ordered their specialty called Binondo Mami which has siomai and lechon macau on it. Jeff also ordered Bola-Bola siopao and 5 pcs. and siomai.

Hong Kong food trip

Food and travel are a perfect combination, by sampling the local cuisine, you also get to taste a country’s history and rich culture. Albeit my husband’s non-adventurous tastebuds, he willingly gave in to my demand, food tripping Hong Kong’s cuisine. Some restaurants are not authentic Chinese but these are the food places recommended by other HK travellers.
