Our
first stop is lunch at Golden Fortune Seafood Restaurant. We felt so
bloated after eating steamed lapu-lapu, shrimp, Mandarin chicken,
spinach, dimsum, hot and sour soup and yang chow fried rice!
Omar
Laoshi was our official tour guide and Lin Na, being the class
valedictorian, was able to read Chinese characters easily. Right photo
shows Lin Na reading the name of a Kung Fu school.
Then, we found out Mang Inasal has Chinese version! =)
A newspaper stand which we normally see in HK / China. Meron din pala nito sa Binondo! =)
After the long walk, we stopped at DVD and book shops.
We just can't stop Romel Yisheng from buying Mandarin books at the Xinhua Bookstore! Go go Yisheng!
Yisheng and Ni Ca enjoying a Mandarin book for first graders. =)
Lin Na, Ni Ca, Laoshi and Yisheng. I'm holding the cam! =)
I
finally found the famous kainan (eating and "drinking" place) called
Estero. Literally, it's just beside the estero but I heard the food is
good here.
Omar Laoshi brought us to Ho-Land. Ho-Land is popular for flaky hopia.

We were introduced to Wong Lo Kat herbal tea, a healthy drink that tastes like sago't gulaman! =P
The violet fire truck sponsored by Eng Bee Tin.
From another long walk, we finally landed in Seng Guan Buddhist Temple.

And since I'm still craving for dumplings, we were brought to Tasty Dumplings! =)
A
few steps before we got back to the car park, we saw a long line of
karitela roaming the streets. Tourists who can't do the long walk may
opt to tour Chinatown using this traditional mode of transportation.
It
was a long tiring walk but we had fun and learned a lot (and ate a lot
too)! I hope we can do this again. Do I hear Beijing, China? Paging Ma
Dawei, Ma Dakaw, Ma Danda and the rest! =)
