A Taste of Binondo: A Filipino-Chinese Cultural Fusion Through Food and Fashion
Welcome, Mabuhay, and Ni Hao to World Balance gastronomic adventure that marries two beautiful cultures together - Filipino and Chinese! We're adding a unique twist to the typical café crawl, swapping out coffee shops for an exhilarating exploration through Manila's Chinatown, Binondo. Here, we explore the vibrant fusion of Filipino and Chinese culinary delights, all while putting the versatility, comfort, and style of World Balance's gear to the test.
Our trusty WB squad - JP, Ellai, Jen, Geoff, and JM, decked in the latest World Balance collection, will be our guides through the meandering streets of this bustling food haven. So, grab your chopsticks, and let's dig in!
Food walks can be a marathon requiring both endurance and style. As we navigate the busy streets of Binondo, World Balance is our ally, providing comfort and flair in every step. Whether it's the stylish Eminence shoes worn by JP or Ellai's funky Camino, every step reflects World Balance's commitment to the love of adventure and camaraderie - truly a celebration of the Filipino spirit.
THE FOOD STOPS:
We kickstart our epic food walk at the well-loved Wai Ying. An oldie but a goodie, this restaurant serves a wide variety of delicious dim sum, each bite a testament to the harmony of Filipino and Chinese flavors. It's no wonder that Wai Ying has become a classic staple in the lives of Filipinos.
We kickstart our food walk at Chuan Kee Binondo, a culinary landmark serving authentic Chinese cuisine for over 70 years. Here, our stylish WB squad, fully immersed in the Chinese food culture, savors an assortment of dim sum, each bite celebrating the harmony of Filipino and Chinese flavors.
Next stop, Min Nan Di Yi Wei, famous for its Oyster Pancake (Oyster Panada). As our stylish WB squad leads the way, we delve into the savory flavors of this classic dish, savoring the perfect blend of Filipino and Chinese gastronomy.
We round off our food trip at Salazar Bakery, packing boxes of pasalubong. Just like JM, sporting his trendy Territory shoes and Striped Active Tee, we share the sweet tastes of our journey, reflecting World Balance’s dedication to camaraderie and shared experiences.
As we wrap up our flavorful journey, we can’t help but reflect on the beautiful fusion of Filipino love for food and Chinese culinary traditions we've explored. All along, World Balance's comfort and style have been our companions, each step reflecting our shared cultural heritage.
