It was a spur of the moment. Raffy and I decided to have a walk in China Town.
We passed the jewelry shops that display all the gold earrings, necklaces, rings and other jewelries we could imagine. It all glitters before our eyes. Ahh! Gold!
We walk the pavement like two truant school boy and girl who were ogling at people, giggling and taking pictures.
At around 11am, we decided to eat in Wai Ying Restaurant. The looks of it reminds me of the restaurants in Hong Kong; the type that wouldn’t really attract you. Braised beef were displayed on the glass window, and you will see the cook preparing the dishes as you entered. Tables and chairs were the simplest; those that are made of plastics that would slide on the floor when you are sitted. There were no decors or whatsoever.
I was tempted to order a duck but I decided to go with something that my tongue and stomach were familiar. I ordered asado and chicken with rice. I am not sure what the green spices were but I appreciated its taste and contrast with the chicken.
Raffy ordered minced beef with egg and rice. Looks weird to me, it was like a hardened gravy. It tasted better if you dip it in soy sauce.
What’s best with the meal? Well, we have a serving of Hakaw.
A trip to this other side of Manila wouldn’t end unless you will buy hopia. They may be available in the grocery stores but there is a different feel in buying it there. Where else should we buy? But in the famous Eng Bee Tin. I bought 3 delicious flavors – Hopiang baboy, Monggo and Ube.
