Another binondo escapade! @_@ MIL had a meryenda date with her BFF yesterday. Uuuuuyyyyy sinama kami, in fairness! ;))
 |
| This sight gets my kapitan K’s heart to beat faster hehe.. #certifiedchink |
 |
| Tikoy in all flavors & sizes! <3 |
 |
| This is not an advertisement. 🙂 I just like to make your life easier. |
For me, Eng Bee Tin makes the BEST tikoys. Look, they even came up with TEA-koy for the sosyaleras who are into tea-infused anything! (not me though, I’m into the plain flavor-free tikoy) ;))
 |
| Special TEA-koy! 😉 Retails for 330 php/box of 4 flavors. They are always out of stock though. Mabenta because of it’s uniqueness. Was able to get just 1 box & I gave it to MY own BFF as pasalubong. Maybe next time I get to sample, I’ll tell you all about it. 😉 |
 |
| Red TEA-koy, Jasmine TEA-koy, Milk TEA-koy, and Green TEA-koy! ;)) Whoever thought of these must have gotten a big raise from Mr. Ube a.k.a. GERRY CHUA himself! |
Then had meryenda at Ying Ying’s. Madame Ying is the spouse of President Restaurant’s owner. For my hunny, authentic dimsum means he has to be surrounded by our ka-lahi! ;)) Nothing beats tribal company hehe.
 |
| Just outside their door, you can find an assortment display of dimsum. Keber nila kung may langaw. Go lang! 😛 |
 |
| Unfortunately, we were stuck with the female server on the left. (Oh I’m sure you can distinguish her from the rest!) Asim ng mukha! BV pa ang service. Hayz! </3 Btw, you might be wondering what the lady is doing with the plastic bag. |
 |
| My Lovey’s bubble though: Daddy is paying. MUST CONTROL MYSELF! ;)) Peace, baby! <3 |
 |
| Xiao Long Pao. (Not BAO – which has the soup inside) Th skins are kinda thick. I would recommend you go to SHI LIN for the BEST Xiao Long Bao |
 |
| Hakaw. Wasn’t too happy with this either. The skin was too think & pasty. </3 The shrimp balls weren’t that crunchy. But hey, at 70/4, what did I expect? 😛 |
 |
| Okay, this may just be my favorite dish in Ying Ying’s. |
 |
| and this. Although I noticed they really like thick skins! @_@ |
 |
| I missed my babyson so very much. :'(( He had homework so he opted to stay home. But I made sure he had plenty of pasalubong! <3 |
Next week is Chinese New Year! m/ Gotta google where to take the superfriends for some yummy authentic chinese grub & dragon dancing. Any suggestions? 😉

February 4, 2013 at 3:05 amOh, wow. Yummers! Btw, your baby is sooooo cute, Jessa!!! <3 I wanna bite the cheeks haha. How I wish I can have another baby!!! 🙂
February 4, 2013 at 7:49 amThis was our chinese food go-to place when I was still a poor college student. Hehe. I still eat here when I am in my kuripot mode (read: too many more days before pay day) and I am craving chinese food. Too bad you found the hakaw substandard during that day. Last time I ate there, the hakaw was perfect! With crunchy shrimp and all. Have you tried their Tai Pao? Aside from Emerald's Tai Pao, theirs is what I eat when I am feeling ravenous. Kaso, the mantao is too thick. 🙂
February 4, 2013 at 9:34 amBTW, as per Jinlovestoeat's blog entries, my mom and I decided to try Mabuhay Palace in Manila Hotel. We usually go to President's or Emerald's for any Chinese celebrations. Waley lang, just suggesting. 😉
February 4, 2013 at 9:37 amI would LOVE to try Mabuhay Palace!!! <3 Unfortunately, I can't take the superfriends there.. puro din sila kurips hahaha! ;P Maybe one of these days I'll take the kids there. Thank you for your recommendation! :-*
February 4, 2013 at 10:16 amI love president's hakaw! 🙂 Although I don't understand why they don't hav the same quality when mag-asawa ang may-ari? </3 I'll try the Tai-pao next time. Have you tried monteland's taipao? OMG it's as big as a plate, I kid you not. I posted it somewhere here in my blog. 200 pesos for 1 bun but super sulit, ang daming laman. Do try it when you find yourself in Binondo. 🙂 Let me know ha!!!
February 4, 2013 at 10:23 amthank you!! why not make another baby?? hehehe tama ba to kinikilig ako sa reply mo..appreciated much (big fan)..
February 4, 2013 at 3:12 pmYikes! @_@ other than the fact that i'm too old, "the factory is closed" na hehehe. Sayang! </3 I'll borrow your baby nalang feom time to time hahaha.
February 4, 2013 at 11:57 pmHi! I've been following your blog for quite sometime, but it's my first time to comment. 🙂 Found the link from frannywanny.Just wanted to ask if this is beside New World Laboratory? Thanks.
February 5, 2013 at 4:10 amHi! 🙂 Thank you so much for following my blog & taking the time to read my posts. 🙂 Sorry ha but I'm so bad at directions haha. I really have no clue. I'll try to find out from my hunny bun & I'll get back to you asap! 😉
