Binondo
As dragons cling onto lamp posts, and incense burns next to Christian crosses, evenings in Binondo are historic vs cyberpunk, with spaghetti wires hanging over narrow streets where the jeepneys chug along - a world apart from the steel and glass skyscrapers of modern Makati.

Binondo
Zigzagging through Ongpin street and Santa Cruz, we'll visit local eateries with closely-guarded recipes passed over generations, where hungry locals outnumber tourists. A short taxi ride back to your hotel leaves behind the culinary underbelly of the capital by night, ending with a full belly of memories (and new found friends).
