Gong Xi Fa Cai ! The Binondo Experience

Along Ongpin St Binondo



It was my first time to visit Binondo with a full pack of people. Gosh! we cant hardly walk along Ongpin Street. Though it was a tiring and its like a battle to find for a place to eat the girls and I had so much fun. 
Special Lumpiang Sariwa 50 pesos


It was almost lunch time when we arrived at Chinatown. Our stomachs are growling so we decided to eat at New Eastern Garden.  We ordered their famous Lumpia, kikiam, braised tofu and lomi. I personally like the tofu. The lumpia and kikiam taste good too, while the Lomi is overcooked. Overall we had a good eats at affordable price. 



After lunch we went back to Ongping St.This time our goal is to buy tikoy and hopia plus to watch a dragon dance. Luckily, when we get to the Binondo Church the dragon dance just started.

After the dragon dance and this dragon ate all the money the girls and I decided to drop by at Divisoria. (sayang eh malapit na). Unfortunately we never had a time to buy hopia and tikoy as all eng bee tin are jampacked. Too bad. :( 

It was truly colorful and a good experience to celebrate Chinese New Year with the Chinoys in Binondo. Feng shui, hopia, tikoy, dragon dance and the all those lucky charms are the staples of Binondo.  Gong Xi Fa Cai!  

Di naman Chinese si pope ah ! :P
