We thought it was so cool that the Philippines has the oldest Chinatown in the world! We enjoyed exploring this area and trying different foods ! ❤😊🇵🇭 What is your favorite Chinese-Filipino food??
Toad siopao and kikiam are the best 😋😋
I love any kind of dumplings!❤😋
The Chinese donuts are yummy!❤😋
@@nathblanca6280The frog siopao is much better.
For Filipino-Chinese food, you should go to Classic Savory or Mann Hann restaurant. They can usually be found in most malls. There's a Mann Hann in Market!Market! Mall in BGC. Pancit Canton (chow mein noodles), salt and pepper spareribs, camaron rebosado (battered prawns), and lomi (egg noodles) are the usual favorites.
that was fresh lumpia😊
We liked the fresh Lumpia but still prefer the fried 😋
Your so generous!you give food to the guy,maybe hes homeless .
Glad we were able to brighten his day with an Oreo milkshake..❤
I'm happy to see the kids try different foods in the Philippines, they will never forget this experience !
Thank you! In future videos you will see us learning to cook Lumpia and Pork Adobo, and the kids loved it! ❤️😋
wow! love the Chinese food in Chinatown, Manila!
We loved the food, and it was fun to explore. If it wasn't so hot, we would have liked to stay longer! ❤️☺️
My favourite siopao❤it,enjoy your stay….take care
Thank you! You too!❤️☺️
Quite an adventure in Binondo, Manila, enjoy the Philippines 😊😊😊
Thank you so much! ❤️☺️
Love this family especially the kids...
Thank you so much for the kind words! ❤️☺️
I forgot to add - Planning a trip to Cebu, the Queen City of the South? Don't just pack your swimsuit for swimming with whale sharks, one of the planet's biggest fish! Cebu is also a haven for foodies. Be sure to try their mangoes, renowned for their sweetness and rivaling the famous Guimaras mangoes from another Philippine island. Cebu also boasts some of the country's best lechon, a slow-roasted whole pig with a crispy, crackling skin and incredibly flavorful meat. In fact, the late Anthony Bourdain himself declared Cebu's lechon "the best pig ever.
We will not be able to include Cebu this trip, but it is on our list for the next trip for sure. There is so much history we want to see that we are planning on coming back to the Philippines later this year. We are going to be in Bohol next where we will swim with the Whale Sharks!🦈🦈 We did try the Lechon other places, and it was great, but we will try it in Cebu to compare!❤️🇵🇭😋
@WorldFamilyExplorers ah, hopefully you guys gets to visit again.
@@WorldFamilyExplorers Lechon is standard in the Philippines. Every variant is yummy as long as charcoal is used.
I love the mung bean hopia the best. Although, I also love ube for other desserts. They have so many different flavors now. The kids would love the egg tarts.
There were so many to choose from, that place was huge! ❤️😋
YUMMY 😊
Very yummy food!❤️😋
I would say this was adventurous and wow paid for someone food who was hungry. Now I know why I love this family
Thank you, it was fun to explore here and we were glad we could help that gentleman out!❤️
I like their hopia(pork and monggo)flavour ❤
We live pork and Mango so we need to try those versions! 😋
That is a Lumpia, woah. Yea the size and look of a burrito
We have never seen one that big! Family size ! 😮😂🤣
@WorldFamilyExplorers lol, yea same.
Thank u bro for helping hofeless welcome to phillipines.
Our pleasure! We always try to help when we see someone in need. He didn't ask for anything, but I saw him holding an empty cup so we offered to get him something...
Hope you're enjoying your trip to the Philippines.
Thank you! We love the Philippines very much! The cities beach and the people are all great ❤️☺️🇵🇭
I think the kids would love Dreamworks Dreamplay in city of Dreams near SM mall of Asia and Ayala Mall by the bay
Thank you so much for the recommendation, we will check it out! ❤️☺️
Yes I am 4th in the comment❤❤❤ lol
Nice!!
We should make a competition! ❤️☺️
That’s Awesome Guys, Food looks Delicious 😋 ✌️👍👍👍💪👌🙏💕
Thanks! Yes food was delicious! 😋
Yay im first Comment!
You even beat us!
A Chinese and simple town before but now a City ,in a middle of a city ,tall buildings and huge amount of people today
It was a very fun area with a lot of choices of places to go! We woukd have liked to explore more but the kids were getting hot..☺️
Chinatown or Ongpin, as it is called by the locals, is a fantastic place for Chinese food find 😋 the kids seem to enjoy the dumplings ,siopao and sorbets. Connor & Logan are good with their jokes😆. The overhead electric wires are truly a sight for sore eyes but it serves its purpose because of the heavy rain and floods coming soon. Take care.
It was a fun area to explore! We would have liked to stay a little longer, but the kids were hot. Maybe we should wait until the sun goes down next time..☺️
your so kind giving a food to our fellow filipino god bless to ur family❤❤❤
Thank you, our pleasure to help out whenever we can..☺️❤️
If that jewelry store is in some cities in US, that glass will be hammered already.
True! It is crazy! I saw on the news 20 people coming in with hammers to steal jewelry and the police don't catch them! 😮
it's a crouded place no one dare to rob it and I think those are fancy jewelries
@@eagleofthenorthmacroexcell6843 they are not fancy, I bought a gold necklace in that market and the jewelry I bought was accepted in pawnshops.
@@eagleofthenorthmacroexcell6843 the robbers in the US are more daring because they do it inside the shopping malls, and also crowded.
@@felipo2000 We have an incident that happened in a mall in the Philippines where this "Martilyo gang" robbed a jewelry store. This incident were not repeated because security guards will not allow hammers or any metals being brought inside malls.
The food seems very masarap (delicious) 😋 just looking at it.
It was very good food, thanks! 😊
Love the food tours! You guys get me so hungry!!!
So glad you enjoyed! ❤️☺️
NEW SUB ENJOY PHILPPINES
Thank you so much for subscribing, hope you enjoy our videos! ❤️☺️
The dumpling, or shomia are very good with chili garlic oil. If you dip with soy sauce put some Calamansi juice in it. ♥️
Thanks for the tip! Sounds delicious!😋
Yes this chinatown is the 😅oldest in the world !
Very cool history!☺️
Amazing food trip 😊
Thank you, it was fun and tasty to explore this area! 😋
Toasted siopao and kikiam 😋
We have had those in other countries but didn't have them in this trip..
Go to Cebu City! 🇵🇭
We plan to go to Cebu next trip later this year! ❤️☺️🇵🇭
Has anyone told the pretty mom that she looks exactly like Monalisa.
Thank you ❤️☺️
4:02 long lost sister..😊
Long lost Sister? ❤️☺️🤔
Will go there next month to try authentic chinese food
It was amazing how many choices they have there! ❤️☺️😋
maybe im second hello guys🫶
Hello!😊👋 Welcome to our channel!!❤
Enjoy!
Thank you!☺️❤️
You guys, much thanks for being game in trying the binondo food. It shows in your faces that its something new for you and that is okay....we appreciate it nonetheless ❤❤
Thank you! ☺️ We love to try new things or we'll never know if we like or not. Luckily, we did find some things we liked. The heat was definitely getting to the kids, and they would rather be in an air-conditioned restaurant eating pizza! 🤣😂
@@WorldFamilyExplorers yup....the heat mist be agonizing for you guys....here's a tip: hats don't work in the 🇵🇭...bring a foldable umbrella....always stop by a store or shop and drink plenty of cold water....never do your excursion between 8:00am-3:00pm. Always bring a face towel to wipe sweat, find a shade to get away from heat....and lastly, custard is not the original and classic hopia....it's MONGGO or MUNG BEAN.....much similar with custard, but custard is just recent...
Stepdad Ken this is the place where spanish colonial seperate the chinese from filipinos they are either mainland china or they have wife/husband in binondo
Did you try sugar cane juice, peking duck,mooncake or local made hopia
Theres a binondo church where locals worship
We would love to try all those! We had the Hopia but need to try fresh homemade like you are recommending!☺️
😊❤
❤️❤️☺️☺️
Mmmm..."soup dumplings"...yummy!😍
The one soup dumpling place was too busy and the other place was a 20 minute wait, so we had the pork and chive ones. We had soup dumplings in Malaysia though and loved them! 😋
@@WorldFamilyExplorers oh...I thought I did see her eating soup dumplings 🤔
Wasn't that what she had in the square container with the broth on the one side?🤷🏼♀️
Guess I need to go back & watch again 😏
The lumpia that you got in this video is called lumpiang Sariwa or fresh lumpia. There are 3 popular varieties of lumpia, fresh lumpia with a garlicky peanut sauce,lumpiang Shanghai which is the small egg rolls which usually have the ground pork that you dip in sweet and sour sauce and the last one is the lumpiang gulay which is with veggies that you dip in vinegar.
Thank you for the info! We love trying all the different kinds. This was the first time we ever had the large, fresh ones! ❤️😋
"lumpia" is basically an umbrella term for these dishes wrapped in lumpia wrapper:
lumpiang shanghai - (fried) pork fillings
lumpiang togue - (fried) beans/carrots (meat-free)
lumpiang sariwa - (fresh lumpia) carrots, lettuce, etc. with sweet sauce
@@WorldFamilyExplorers
China has big cities like Hong Kong. Shanghai. Shenzhen. Chengdu. Chongqing. Tianjin. Dalian.and Shenyang with many delicious Chinese food !
We would love to visit there someday!❤️
AND YET THEY STILL WANT OUR COUNTRY😆😅😊😀😁😂😃😄😉😆😈😠
Let them visit Intramuros, Manila Zoo, Okada Manila, City of Dreams, Star City, Mall of Asia, Ayala Museum, Greenhills, and Market Market in BGC, since these are the famous landmarks good for children to visit here in Greater Manila. Outside Manila, the nearest are: Enchanted Kingdom and the Sky Ranch & Picnic Grove in Tagaytay.
Thank you forcall the great recommendations! ☺️ We stayed in BGC and we took the kids to the mind museum which they loved! We will save this list for future places to take them ❤️☺️🇵🇭
❤❤❤
❤️☺️
You guys did a wonderful tour of China Town ❤but you missed the # 1 spot…Lord Stow’s bakery 🧁 right next to the Hopia store,the best egg tart in the World 🌎 I was there in March, and I went there especially for those tarts…well next time! Enjoy and stay away from the hot sun 🌞 😊I’m home 🏠 in NYC 🇺🇸going back in August for the 8th year in a row!
We would have explored more if we didn't have the kids out but the heat was killer!🌞🔥🔥 We will be coming back to Manila again and we will look for those tarts! 😋
Welcome to the Philippines. Quick fact in the oldest Chinatown. This was a European (Spain, not Filipino) arrangement as they wanted to limit the mobility of immigrants and trade from China into their Territory. Nothing touristy or friendly in origin.. it's just districting as Spain wanted a central location for the Chinese traders to drop their goods which the Spaniards shipped to Europe. Enjoy.
Thank you for the info. It's great to see what it has tuned into and how the cultures have blended together peacefully. It seems as though the Philippines keep going in a good direction for the future!❤️☺️
the original hopia is actually the mongo flavor. the two oldest flavors are the mongo (mung beans) and baboy (pork)
We don't know much about Hopia, just that it said originally flavor on the outside. Many have suggested we try the homemade version! So many fun flavors to choose from! 😋❤️
I think one of the crunchy ingredient on the Fresh Spring Roll (Lumpiang Sariwa) is the heart of palm or locally called ubod.
Cool, whatever it was, it was good! They could answer what the sweet ingredient was we were tasting. Would the heart of the palm be sweet? 🤔
@@WorldFamilyExplorersor the crunchy and sweet ingredient is the Turnip 😊
I almost done watching here. I think you missed the “Vege Select” restaurant(for vegetarian restaurant). My favorite hopia is the “Buko Pandan”, “Onion” and “The Ube” 😋
There are so many places we missed and we wish we could see them all! We will be going to Manila again next year along with Boracay, Cebu and Palawan! ❤️😊🇵🇭
The original hopia is not custard it’s Mongo or Mung Bean that is the original. It’s a Bean cake very Asian. You can find all kinds of bean cakes all over Asia. Yes oldest Chinatown is in Manila but the largest Chinatown outside of China is in San Francisco, CA.
Thank you for the info ☺️ another local told me the same about the hopia. I don't know why the wrapper on that custard one in the store said " original flavor "
@@WorldFamilyExplorers am actually from Vegas like you guys but lived in Manila for 8 years until 2018
Try letchon pls in cibu ❤❤❤❤❤
We had the letchon and loved it! ❤️😋
Visit palawan pls ❤❤❤❤
Palawan is beautiful! We want to see it for sure! ❤️☺️🇵🇭
I appreciate you gave a lil something to that guy at the siopao place. I suspect may be schizophrenic. The government provides medication, but it needs family support and enforcement.
He was holding an empty cup, so we assumed he was thirty. He didn't ask for anything, but we offered and I hope it made his day better..❤️
The food in Northeast Asian countries, China, Japan, south Korea, Taiwan is even better than Southeast Asia, and the cities are more modern than Southeast Asia. You should travel to Northeast Asia often
So far out of those we have only been to Japan and we did like the food very much!❤️😋
Thai food is good….😊
@@chacri08 we love Thai food! We have videos of Thailand if you look on our channel! 😊
@@WorldFamilyExplorers I will. Thanks 😊
hello beautiful people'...wuzzup'... how's it goin'!!... well' actually many many years ago' before the spaniards' came here around 15hundreds' the china town area already existed'...it is within the boundary of the tondo kingdom which is known to be the main place for commerce n trade' whatever' in manila'...so when the spaniards' took over' they then made manila as the main center of the entire luzon and they told almost all of the chinese in manila to just stay in that area which is now known as the china town'... yeah'... 😂👍 ✌fin
Thank you for the info. The history of The Philippines is great to learn about..☺️❤️🇵🇭
It's the first time to see you never finding a restaurant where you can be seated around a table, I know there are restaurants there in chinatown for you to eat and be comfortable seated around a table.
There were some restaurants with tables that we wanted to go to but they had long waits to be seated and we wanted to see many places. A nice air-conditioned restaurant would have been welcomed in the heat! ☺️
Steamed not boiled
😂
Thank you!
So...does China have "Chinatowns"? 🤷🏼♀️
A " Chinatown " means a town if Chinese settlers outside of China. This was the first one dating back to the 1500s!
@@WorldFamilyExplorers gotcha!😉
The oldest Chinatown in the world. Next Greenhills the fake brand capital of the world.
I need to get my Wife a fake purse! -😂🤣 Chris
If I'm President of the Philippines I'm going to closed that chinatown because there's NO historic ties between Manila and Beijing! Unlike Spain and United States has a closed historic ties Manila until now!
We recently read more about the history after going there and now know it was not the most friendly of relationships between the Spanish and the Chinese when the Chinatown was established...😬
Do these kids really need to wear these hats. 😞😞 The lumpia is called fresh lumpia and yes it has crush peanuts in it.
It helps keep the sun out of their face. They got them in Spain and have been wearing them ever since...☺️
It's part of their branding. Duh.
Bawal umihi dito!
I'm not sure it translated correctly? " No peeing here? " 🤔
