BINONDO by Kabisera

Binondo was a great find for Filipino food in Chinatown. They definitely put their own spin on some of the dishes, which made the meal a little more interesting. The kare-kare was really good, and the salpicao with garlic rice was probably one of the standouts for me. The flavors worked really well together, and the garlic rice was a perfect match. The adobo was also good, but definitely different from what I’m used to. It was almost more like a barbecue-style preparation, whereas I usually think of adobo as a wetter, more sauce-heavy dish. Overall, a really enjoyable meal with some creative takes on Filipino classics. I’d definitely come back and try more of the menu.

Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the Baguio beans and pork sisig. The cocktails were good, too. You must have the desserts. Service was excellent. Background music was fun!

Really loved Binondo - food was delicious (the ginataan shrimp was a hit! The pancit palabok really brought me back to childhood )and plenty to share amongst our group. The staff were kind and friendly. I would come back again to try the entire menu!
