I can't remember the last time I went to Quiapo, but I got excited when hubby asked me to come with him and pay a visit to Hidalgo. Well, it was not really that far from where I lived but its tiring to pay a visit. Heavy pollution was a big factor.Anyways let skip the sad part. I knew that the local government was doing something about pollution.

Quiapo Church |
We arrived before noon and hubby go straight to the shop right next to Quiapo church that sells wholesale mobile phone parts. He broke something on his brother's mobile phone. And I went to the Black Nazarene to say a little prayer.
After buying the mobile phone parts we went straight to Ma Mon Luk. At first I was hesitant to enter inside the restaurant.It was gloomy and ind im sorry but the place looks very untidy.My husband asked me why I feel so uncomfortable.I looked around and I whisper to him "malinis ba dito?" He laughed at me and said YES.He said the reason maybe the management didnt renovate the place was because to preserve it's original look.And I agree to that.

awesome taste! |
In less than 5 minutes the waiter went back serving our special mami and special siopao.The smell so yummy, the serving was also big enough for two.Honestly I enjoyed the food. It may not be a fancy restaurant but the taste compensated everything. This is the best mami I ever tasted so far.

The Old Post Office Building |
After our merienda I asked hubby to buy hopia from eng bee tin in Binondo. Unfortunately we both got confused on our way to Binondo so we ended up in the Intramuros area. I took some pictures inside Intramuros. The Manila Cathedral and the San Agustin Church before we called it a day .
