- We are on a street food tour in Binondo, Manila! We have been dying to get our hands on more Filipino food, and on this food tour we got to try 16 different Filipino foods including dinuguan, lumpia, hopia, siapoa, taho, dumplings, and so much more!! We took this tour with Ivan from the tour company 'Old Manila Walks' and had an awesome time learning about the food we were eating as well as some of Manila's relevant history. If you want to book the same tour we did, you can click here: oldmanilawalks.com/events_tou...
Binondo is Manila's Chinatown which happens to be the oldest Chinatown in the world! The cuisine is a unique blend of traditional Chinese food mixed with common Filipino ingredients and cooking processes. The result is a food scene you cannot find anywhere else in the world!
In our opinion, Binondo has some of the best street food in Manila, and if you are a tourist in Manila you should definitely visit Chinatown to learn more about the cuisine as well as the history of how the first ever Chinatown came into existence. It's an interesting story, but we will let Ivan tell you on your tour :)
As you'll see from my reactions in the video, not every new Filipino street food was a hit! Mico will eat just about anything, but I (Nicole) have a few limits as far as trying foods goes. In the case of this Manila street food tour, I pushed myself to try everything, even when I knew it probably wasn't going to be something I'd be reaching for twice. I hope that wins me some brownie points with my Filipino family.
If you are a foreigner trying Filipino street food, we highly recommend you give everything a try, especially if it's something you've never seen before! Going with a guide is a great idea if you are nervous about where to eat from that won't make you sick. We love going on guided food tours when we first arrive in a country so we can better enjoy the food during our entire time in a country. We find that we learn a lot about the general cuisine of a country this way and then we can really dig into the food on our own during our visit! We loved trying Filipino food this way, because even though Mico has grown up with Filipino food, we still learned so much about the variety and history of Filipino food on our tour!

Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on TH-cam, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.
you guys pick the right guy for the china town food trip, he's well know in you tube with different famous vloggers.Good job, glad you enjoy the food.🤗👍
Thank you for celebrating our wonderful street food
Nicole is awesome - game for any food. I like seeing people try stuff that is out of the ordinary for them. Good Job !
Sauce (or "sawsawan") is definitely key to eating a lot of Filipino food. We'll dip anything in sauce or vinegar. I love that you guys hired a guide to take you through Binondo, and sharing the history of the foods that you're eating.
Yes, we really realized that during this tour! Well, particularly me (Nicole). Even though I've eaten at lots of Filipino events in Canada, I really had no idea how important dips were to the cuisine, especially vinegar!
Wow looking good
Nicole is such a cheerful giggler, an amusing character,a fun companion for a holiday,they make a nice touring couple,they seem like they are having the time of their lives,so nice to see, much love, enjoy the books ✌️♥️🇬🇧
That lumpia is modified lumpia originally specialty of Globe lumpia. Dinuguan is a "blood stew", better eaten with auto (white rice) flour steamed bread. Fried tofu is also popular in Thailand called Tofu Tod, serve with sweet/sour sauce with sprinkle of crushed peanuts, is is an appetizer.
The sight of the electrical wires all over underdeveloped part of Manila is not a good sight to see there. I'm just amazed how electricians, be able to identify each connection belongs to. I'm your new subscriber to your channel and watched your experience in Binondo manila, enjoying the foods available there. Awesome to watch, making me hungry. My wife and I were there many moons ago, not a pleasant visit due to trash all over, but i guess it has changed a bit. Thanks for sharing your journey in the Philippines. God bless
DINUGUAN is a Filipino dish that my son who grew up here in California, would never dare to try just because it was made with pig’s blood. Filipino delicacies are usually made with coconut milk like rice cake, cassava and Bico. That Chinatown in Binondo is the oldest one in the world. All Chinese influenced dishes are really delicious as well as dim sum, siopao, Hopia and noodles like pansit. I will definitely go to Binondo when I visit Manila.
Hopefully your son tries dinugua one day!
👌👍thanks for sharing
Palitaw and biko are my peyborits.
Have you been to Siargao, Siquihor, Camiguin, Tinago falls, and Dahican? You should.
Nicole you're right. A lot of the rice cakes or kakanin are snacks more than deserts. Filipinos eat a lot of snacks in between meals, they're called merienda.
thanks for the video, love it
Welcome philippines enjoy.. 👍🏽🇵🇭😎✌🏽
Thank you!!
I LOVE watching your food tours!!! Always makes me wish I could try some too!!
Thats awesome! We're so glad we get to share then with you 😁
WOW, WOW, WOW that looked like a really fantastic food tourism day! The times you guys go with a guide you really do get to explore such a variety of things. What was the absolute favorite thing you each had?
Yummy! I want to do that tour!!!!🤤
You should! It's so good!
Watching your channel from San Diego, California.
Try dine at the oldest Chinese restaurant since the 1800's Rizal and many of our national heroes and former presidents have dined there. TOHO located in pinpin street binondo
just subscribed to your channel
Nicole is such a sport. 👏 next food tour with Gian in Mandaluyong ☺️
Haha thank you!!
Humungous Nicole? Great to see you're enjoying the food it makes a vacation!😊✌️♥️🇬🇧
IYou made a wise decision to get Ivan to do the food crawl of Binondo, he iwas born and raised and knows the secret alleys and history of the oldest Chinatown in the world.
What is the restaurant where you ate the fried tofu and Mami noodles?
🥰🥰🇵🇭
Just eat and enjoy the food and don’t think about the ingredients when you eat Dinuguan. It will become one of your favorites soon
Great advice 😊😁
@@nicoleandmicoHi guys , how did you avail the food guide , could you share to us please, thanks , i followed all your vlogs and enjoyed and miss the Philippines
@13:37 siaopao seems to he the same as the chinese "xiaolongbao" perhaps originated from there :)
No, siopao is bbq pork bun or siu bao in Cantonese.
Me I remember there's Cubao called Kowloon man I love siopao in Kowloon Cubao is gone.
The original branch of Kowloon House is still open along West Avenue ... and there are also a lot of small shops around Metro Manila ...
I'm sure Nicole will love the Philippines both of you have more to explore.
Yes, definitely! There is so much to see here :)
@@nicoleandmico well you still have a couple of months of staying in the country, enjoy and stay safe guys I'll be watching your videos
You were in Chinatown
Go to east java and borobudur temple
Great video but too many adverts
How much did you pay Ivan, just curious here.🤔
Commercial Fish Balls aren't good at all. It's all starch. It's the sauce that makes it palatable.
mico, are you a filipino?
Yes.. they migrated in Canada when he was 6 years old. They came from Bacolod. I was his Yaya then in Prep at West Negros College. Amazing isn't it?
The oldest Chinatown in the world.. Binondo
you should really really try Taho that are sold on the streets by the vendors who carry them in these giant tubs, those are the traditional taho that are sold usually in the morning. the ones that are sold in stores served in a "fancy" way really never taste good. so please try the traditionally sold taho from the streets ☺ the one that you ate looks like it tastes bad 🤣 no offense
Haha great tip we'll have to keep that in mind for next time!
Ung tour ang panay lamon e.😂
You must have an influencial tour guide no one eats those dumplings inside the store
🤮
