Ying-Ying Teahouse at Binondo

What is a trip to Binondo if you didn't eat at any Chinese resto or trying out dumplings?

After shopping of hopia and other Chinese delicacies, we were hungry and we noticed that our favorite restaurant named Estero was gone! For all the years that we've been to Ongpin, its always majority choice for all of us to eat at Estero. So sad:) A building is soon to rise at Estero place...

We walked along Ongpin hoping to find a place on where to pig-out aside from the Presidents place (there's a humor that the chef of the President's place opened a restaurant called Ying-Ying)  and kuya bing discovered this restaurant along Dasmariñas St.

Ying-Ying restaurant can be found in Dasmariñas St. It is a very typical Chinese Restaurant. Consist of 3 floors..I recommend that you stay on 2nd or 3rd floor kasi sa ground floor medyo mainit. After settling down, kuya bing made our order.

Were only 5 and when our orders were served, we were shocked on how big the servings are..We order Siomai, Hakao, Crispy Squid, Fish Fillet with Corn Soup, Lechon Macau, Spinach, Yng Chow Rice, Pancit Canton. For Our drinks, Watermelon Shake and water only.

Hakao or shrimp dumpings...the best!

Pancit Canton - its like the one in North Park but without shrimp and pork..

Lechon Macau..everytime we go to any Chinese restaurant. Lechon macau will not skip our menu..

Yang Chow Rice..i noticed that their yang chow rice has lots of shrimp, pork, veggies and other toppings...very tasty...i love it!

I think this is Spinach

The crispy squid or what we fondly called as Calamari or Calamares (the top most on the picture above) and the Fish Fillet with Corn soup (below the calamari).

I think servings are good for 4 to 5 or more than. Sorry i dont know the price of what we order because im not the one paying for it...But i think the price is so affordable thats why there are lots of people come and dine here. The food was really satisfying.. Ill bet sure im going back here...

Visiting Quaipo Church...

Jan. 11, 2010 (Monday)

Kuya bing called me to join them going to Quiapo.

Since we were young, its been tradition to our family to attend the mass at Quiapo church in celebration of the Black Nazarene but since its too crowded, we planned it after the celebration so our lola can go there without any hassle. We attend the mass and pray as we thank the Lord for all the blessings they showered us.

By 9:00am (we arrived there with my two lolas (lola fe and lola vinyang), my aunt, kuya bing and me. We attend the mass and then fall in line to pray for the black nazarene. I feel so blessed everytime the priest whisk some of the holy water. After the mass, we went to Ongpin, my relatives are so fond of jewelries and feng shui...kaya nahahawa na ako sa knila!

First, we drop by at this Chinese stall which kuya bing recommend to read our 2010 feng shui. Second, we went to Ongpin para lang magpagawa ng bracelet...

this picture i took was from Ongpin....thats kuya bing and tta baby waiting for the Chinese man that will customized their bracelet...

hehe...they didn't know i took some photos..

Feng shui bracelet worn by kuya bing...There's nothing wrong if you believe in fengshui, as long as you dont forget to believe in God. hehe...I myself believe also...why not? Maybe someday i won the lotto or sweepstakes...hehe...the problem is im not putting some money to bet..haha...I still believe in God...

As we wait for them, my two lola and me keep on chatting while eating chestnuts..**yum**
