The Binondo Food Tour was very interesting. We went around various food stalls for around 3.5hrs. We had multiple stops and tried authentic Chinese food. Where else to get them but in Binondo Di ba? 🙂
While doing the food tasting, our guide also gave a brief history of Binondo and the Chinese community living there. The tour ended at the Chinese Museum, which summarizes what we experienced. Definitely a must try for those who want to try to do a Binondo food crawl with family, barkada or officemates.

This is my third Binondo food crawl, first time with my family, the second with my in-laws and now with my work colleagues. We had an amazing fun food trip trip experience with the team! There is always something new to learn about history- and taste! It was both a learning and gastronomic experience! This trip is highly recommended, especially for balikbayans!
