Manila Binondo Gastronomy — A Pilgrimage to the World's Oldest Chinatown
Binondo, established in 1594, is the world's oldest Chinatown and the origin of Manila's gastronomy. Explore Onpin Street on foot, and use Grab to travel to Malate and Intramuros. Old establishments primarily accept cash (pesos), and it is safer to explore the alleys of the old town before it gets dark.
