During our trip to Manila, Philippines, we explored different neighborhoods and tried a variety of local and international cuisines. We started our adventure in the Makati area, where we visited a bustling weekend market and sampled delicious Turkish food. We were surprised by the diverse food scene, with stalls offering everything from Filipino dishes to international flavors.
Next, we ventured into the historic Chinatown district, Binondo, where we indulged in mouthwatering Chinese-Filipino pastries like hopia and asado siopao. We also visited a famous bakery, Salazar Bakery, and tried their iconic pork buns and moon cakes.
To experience the Spanish colonial influence, we headed to the Intramuros district. We explored the historic San Agustin Church and enjoyed stunning sunset views from the Bayleaf Hotel. We also sampled delicious Spanish-inspired cuisine at the hotel’s restaurant.
Finally, we returned to Makati to explore the modern side of the city. We enjoyed shopping, dining, and indulging in the famous Filipino dessert, halo-halo.
Overall, our trip to Manila was an unforgettable experience filled with delicious food, cultural discoveries, and stunning sights. We highly recommend visiting this vibrant city and exploring its diverse neighborhoods.
