Binondo Chinese New Year

Forget the diet, because our taste buds know what’s waiting for us in Binondo.

Chinese Lunar New Year

Me and my dad are mostly mistaken as Chinese. We're no Chinese pero nakicelebrate kami ng New Year nila. February 10 marks and a day of celebrations to herald the beginning of the Year of the Snake. Also, it marks the first time we joined the activity-filled celebration in Binondo. 

My family and I had lunch at Ying Ying, our favorite Chinese restaurant in Binondo. The streets are alive with Dragon dances and street performers.  Restaurants and establishments are all packed with people. I’ve been here several times, but never like this.

And then spend the rest of the day in Resorts World

Dinner at Cafe Maxims 

This is the sort of place you go to be pampered by waiters who are proud of the fine food they are presenting. The menu is small but expertly prepared.
