| Dong Bei's Dumplings |
Either steamed or deep-fried, pork or kutchai , the star of our Binondo Food Trip has always been the Dumplings at Dong Bei. Who could resist that mouth-watering treat of fresh kutchai or meaty ground pork wrapped in special flour wrapper and dipped into that chili-vinegar-soy sauce mixture with all that flavor bursting in your mouth as you chew each dumpling away.

Not me. So, whenever I go to Binondo, either by myself or to meet other travel bloggers, dumplings of Dong Bei shall always be on the list.
Dong Bei is that little chinese food shop located at Yuchengco Street in Bonondo, Manila. And if you happen to be in the area, try also the Hakaw of Wye Ying and the toasted Siopao to satisfy your dumpling cravings.
Those do look delicious, Oman, and now I have to get myself some breakfast before I drool on my keyboard!!! Hope your week is going well!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sylvia, I am craving for dumplings myself so I think I'll go to Binondo tomorrow :)
DeleteI still have to stride the alleys of Binondo and dine in one of its many restaurants. The last time I went there was way back 2011 when we're on our way to Divi for some wedding-related accessories hunt.
ReplyDeleteBut, I know how to make dumplings (yabang mode! lols). You have to taste my home-made dumplings and lumpia hahaha! Too bad I'm too far away to invite you hehe.
Well, the photos showcased all succulent and mouth-watering treats. At ginutom ako ha hehehe! Hmmm..makagawa nga hehe.
During the early years of my blogging life I created this segment in my blog entitled "The Neophyte Cook" - showcasing my own version of the existing foodies out there. But as time goes by di ko ma-maintain ang regular cooking session eh, kaya di ko ma update hehehe.
Happy eating! :) :)
I love cooking too but I do not know how to make dumplings so I will definitely get some tips and tricks from you to make some mouth-watering one :)
Delete"The Neophyte Cook"? cge ill check it out for hidden gems :)
Hahaha! sure :)
DeleteOh yes, Dong Bei Dumplings for the win. Been there several times and I always have some for take-out.
ReplyDeleteAko din minsan nag-ta-take-out pero iba pa rin pag doon kinain because of the sauce and the aroma of the place :)
DeleteAre you going there for the Chinese New year?
ReplyDeleteIs that an invite?
DeleteDarn. This post made me want to go to Binondo now.
ReplyDeleteTara bukas?
DeleteYup, icon an to for every Binondo food tour. Mura na masarap pa.
ReplyDeleteHI Joanna. I could not agree more :)
DeleteSo what's the difference between dumpling and siomai aside from the size?
ReplyDeleteThis is just my take. Dumplings are much more softer and less starchy. Also, it is less commercialized and less mass-produced.
DeletePara kasing pangit pakinggan yung Master Dumplings pag nasa carts na :)
yummmmm. love dumpling.
ReplyDeletesarap no?
