How To Get There?
The fastest way is to book a car via the Grab app or motorcycle hailing apps such as MoveIt, Angkas, or JoyRide.

📍 The Original Savory Ecolta
Start of Food Crawl
🏛️ Binondo Chinatown Welcome Arch
I started from here to see the iconic welcome arch
This is also a good exit point if you're planning to visit the Pasig River Esplanade after the food crawl.
♨️ Shanghai Fried Siopao
- Open from 07:00 AM to 06:00 PM
- This place is super popular
- It was crowded even on a weekday
Sulit for only P35
♨️ Ling Nam Fried Siopao
- Located just beside of the Shanghai Fried Siopao
- Open from 07:00 AM to 09:00 PM daily
- Same price at P35 per piece
- You can choose between Pork Asado and Bola Bola with Kutchay
🥖 Bicho at Oishiekun Chinese Bites
This is also located beside Shanghai Fried Siopao
- I ordered the wrong flavor
- It should have been milky bicho for P70 instead of the sweet bicho for P50
- Just eat this for later as dessert
🌾 Sugar Cane Juice at Vege Select
Famous for their Sugar Cane Juice for P100 and vegetarian skewers
They also offer fried xiaolongbao (P200 for 10 pieces) and fried siopao (P300 for 6 pieces)
🦪 Oyster Empanada at Min Nan De Yi Wei
They are famous for their Oyster Empanada for P60
🥧 Egg Tart at Lord Stow's Bakery
End the food crawl with a dessert for only P56 per piece! I love it coz it's not too sweet.
This place is super popular that it can get crowded even on a weekday.
