One of the things I would like to fullfil this year is to be able to explore new places, try out new adventures, do more of the things that spike my interests, get fit and toned(started going to the gym september last year and hoping I could commit more!), try out new food choices and gain new friends(I guess, that's sounds fun haha!). Went to Binondo with my friends Ivy and Custer last friday to check out some cool stuffs there and food(this is not slipping out of the things, munching!). All threee of us is going to Binondo for the first time so we get a little lost but, we talked our way to find the place we like to see and eventually get there just in time. Whew! Binondo is quite congested I may say 'coz we can't hardly find street names(that's how I look for place, I guess everyone will do the same. LOL!). There are lots of stuff you can get there and Divisoria is nearby as well so you can have a handful of things to look at. From merchandises and food, I guess you find it there. In out of the stores that we went to, there were plenty of Chinese buying too and they buy many, so many! Oh, If I'm not mistaken, Chinatown is within Binondo. I would really like the place more if its much more accessible. There are places that are easy to go through while some are just really crowded with goods. Moving forward, we went to Lucky Chinatown Mall(I didn't know there's a mall there. Cool!). First thing we saw there is Starbucks. It's so different than the usual 'coz its chinese interior, so cooool! The place is less crowded so we roam around(I would really like to come back here 'coz its spacious and less crowd). Since, were in a place with lots of Chinese, we decided to eat oa a chinese resto. I am not of huge fan of other cuisine other than filipino, american, japanese and italian but, the food was great. I feel like I was in the cooking masterchef anime show. So much work from noodles and cooking makes the dinning experience really good. There are lots of restaurants there as well you can check out(will go back there for fooood! haha~!). Well, it was exhausting moving around crowded places so we didn't manage to visit popular resto's there, there's an old church as well that is being repainted, wanna go there too. Too many things left undone but i will make sure when I got back there I can visit more.
Braised Beef Noodles. We ordered the spicy one but we hardly taste chili but the deef is so tender and the noodles freshly made so it taste good.
Passion Berry. Tastes like raspberry black currant but not that too sweet.
Salt and Pepper Squid
Vegetable and Minced Pork Dumpling
Shrimp and Pork Shaomai. They look so nice but we still ate them. Haha!
Tastebuds having a good time. haha!
Red Bean Dumpling. This is the best dessert in dumpling ever! I want three orders of this just for me, haha!
