I got robbed once and almost mugged on another occasion. Regardless of it all, the place has a soft spot in my heart and this thread kinda made me want to walk down memory lane one of these days... and maybe grab some real Chinese grocery items while I'm at it.

The last time I was there was at least a decade ago and I wasn't even on Ongpin. I was looking for electronics stuff along Raon.

Sorry for the OT.

lao fu zi?! old master Q?! sobrang kulit niyan bro! lalo na yung pandak na mataba pati yung matangkad na payat na kasama ni lao fu zi. i miss that comic! so fun to read and re-read. never fails to make me laugh and put a silly smile on my ugly face. i remember my mom warning me to start the comic from right to left for this is how chinese people read.
as a kid i tend to forget things so when i read it , it just got me perplexed!

also a decade ago you would often catch the late "palito" in ronquillo street. he plays the drums in a casino nearby.

Yung new manosa yan ba yung panciteria manosa nung 1980s? Same location pa ba pero different name na?

Original Tasty Condesa beside Binondo Church. New Manosa, home of the original Maki. Cosmos Soler, best asodo anywhere. Ling Nam, Sincerity. Uno, Tunay beef, Wai Ying, Ying Ying....

kaya ako madalas sa binondo gawa ng mga hayop ng wah sun. pag galing sa mga hayop sa aranque, susulyap
ako diyan.
yung nasa pinto mga vietnamese pot bellied pig yun and not baboy ramo.
nakita ko yun nung maliliit pa sila. kukyut!
yung mañosa di ako nasasarapan diyan kahit noon pa man. asar na asar ako pag kumakain diyan. masarap pa sa delicious. nagka manosa dito sa banawe nagsara rin agad. ang kulit pa nung aunty ko na balikbayan, sabi ko di masarap diyan. kumain kami ng crispy pata parang wood carving sa tigas! luma na!

usually take out lang ako from Delicious. nakakatakot din yung area pag gabi na hehe

daan din kayo sa 168 foodcourt. masasarap din mga pagkain dun... meron silang mga authentic chinese dish like sa kim hong.

last month kumain kami ni room mate... ang daming pusa sa ilalim nang lamesa kase daming pagkain na mumo sa lapag... hindi nakain yung inorder namin.

take out tuloy.

i seldom get to eat there na. Usually dumadaan na lang ng Shin Ton Yon, Wai Ying for their asado, siopao, sausage, pork floss

Daan din kayo Bee Tin grocery for some Chinese delicacies: kiamoy, dikiam, sungsung peanuts, that sort of stuff

If you guys can hang out in Chinatown til 8-8:30, nagsesale yung Maxim's Tea House dun.

Not that the place needs more advertising, but your friend may like Eng Bee Tin...although some Tsinoys still prefer the old school Ho-Land hopia along Nueva.
