🌏 Day 5 in Manila | Binondo Food Trip at the World’s Oldest Chinatown + Blulane Hotel Stay

Day 5 of my Vlog series takes us to Binondo — the world’s oldest Chinatown — for an epic 2-day food trip! For this vlog, we’re staying at Blulane Swiss Hotel, where I booked a spacious 2-room suite (with a living area!) to make the food hunt more comfortable. In this episode, we kick off our Binondo food crawl with some iconic spots: 🍴 Shanghai Fried Siopao – a budget-friendly stop for a quick siopao fix 🍴 Cafe Mezzanine – we tried the Lava Pao & Kung Pao Chicken Noodles (plus a host change when my allergies hit!) 🍴 Eng Bee Tin – picking up classic hopia & Filipino-Chinese treats 🍴 Grand Café 1919 – comparing their Café Muscovado & Caramel Macchiato to Starbucks, with a side of Blueberry Cheesecake After a quick rest back at the hotel, the rain didn’t stop us from finding more food gems: 🥯 Oishiekun’s Milky Bicho – loved these sweet, fluffy Chinese donuts 🥬 Vege Select – a Binondo staple… but was it overhyped? I’ll tell you the truth 🥤 Fresh Sugarcane Juice – a refreshing street find 🥞 Chinese Pancake – we grabbed the Turkey Noodle Pancake with Cheese to-go (felt more like a burrito than a pancake!) This vlog is all about honest food reviews — not just the hype — while exploring one of the most iconic food destinations in the Philippines. 📍 Stay tuned for the next Day 6 vlog, where the Binondo food trip continues 👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more travel + food vlogs!
