Dimsum Overload at The Royal Garden in Binondo

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

When you’re looking for a place to eat in Binondo, I suggest you try The Royal Garden. Not only do they have good food there, but you’ll also feel that you just traveled all the way to China because the place is usually filled with Chinese customers speaking their local tongue.

Me and my friends always go here whenever we want some authentic dim sum, which I believe is really their specialty. They have dim sum carts that go around the tables where you can just pick whatever you want.

When the cart passes by your table, be sure to get all that you want for they go pretty fast and you’ll have to wait another 30 minutes or so before the next batch comes. Here’s our first batch of dim sum that we had.

If you’ve been to McKinley Hill in The Fort, I’m sure you’ll notice the long line of people over at One World Square building. No, they’re not in line to get inside their office, but rather waiting for their turn to get a sandwich over at The Sandwich Guy.

My family loves fruits that’s why we usually buy them in bulk. Imagine my surprise when I saw this insanely huge watermelon being carried by my father one afternoon. He just came from Bulacan and this was his pasalubong for me.

During my Ilocos Vacation Tour, one of the places that I was able to visit was the Paoay Church. It’s a baroque church that was built in 1704 and was completed in 1894 by the Augustinian friars. Wow, that’s around 190 years of construction!
