  • BINONDO FOOD TRIP (4 Hours)
    BINONDO FOOD TRIP (4 hours) Eat your way around Binondo, the Philippines’ Chinatown. Located across the Pasig River from the walled city of Intramuros, Binondo was formally established in 1594, and is believed to be the oldest Chinatown in the world. It is the center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino-Chinese merchants, and given the historic reach of Chinese trading in the Pacific, it has been a hub of Chinese commerce in the Philippines since before the first Spanish colonizers arrived in the Philippines in 1521. Before World War II, Binondo was the center of the banking and financial community in the Philippines, housing insurance companies, commercial banks and other financial institutions from Britain and the United States. These banks were located mostly along Escólta, which used to be called the "Wall Street of the Philippines". Binondo remains a center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino- Chinese merchants and is famous for its diverse offerings of Chinese cuisine. Enjoy walking around the streets of Binondo, taking in Tsinoy (Chinese-Filipino) history through various Chinese specialties from its small and cozy restaurants. Have a taste of fried Chinese Lumpia, Kuchay Empanada and Misua Guisado at Quick Snack located along Carvajal Street; Kiampong Rice and Peanut Balls at Café Mezzanine; Kuchay Dumplings at Dong Bei Dumplings and the growing famous Beef Kan Pan of Lan Zhou La Mien.

Eventually we settle and are LINDY ALEXANDER perfectly snug, but there will be no midnight excursions to the loo. At dawn a shimmering, cardinal red light lightly touches the Elders, just the tip of the jagged hills at first but spreading slowly to light the entire range. All is still, not a bird stirs, although we see evidence of kangaroos and wild goats having passed through camp at some point. The sun plays across red-dirt plains but the Pound has its own weather sys- tem, spilling cloud like water over the ram- parts. A “cloud waterfall”, Kym says, as he whips up bacon and egg sarnies (breakfast of cham- pions). Several more cuppas later we spy a lit- tle yellow dot skimming across the plains. Here comes Sam to whisk us back to HQ for a spot of duvet and bath-augmented luxury in CHRISTINE McCABE an eco-villa.
