Here is the answer to your late night
shabu-shabu cravings! Last March, the Philippines hosted the
Asia 21 Young Leaders Forum. Among the delegates was Minnesota state senator
Mee Moua who had mentioned to us over dinner that she was hoping to visit Chinatown before leaving the next day. On short notice, we rang Ivan Man Dy of
Old Manila Walks to give her a private night tour of Binondo!
After exploring Binondo, we went for late night
shabu-shabu at
Golden Fortune Seafood Restaurant which closes at 1 a.m. daily. What's even better is starting at 9 p.m., they give a hefty discount for
shabu-shabu (30 to 50 percent depending on the ingredient),
dimsum and seafood. The same discount is offered from 2 to 5:30 p.m.
The
shabu-shabu was great! At least we now know where to go when craving for late night food in Binondo!

Tuguegarao, Cagayan produces a really popular variety of longganisa. This longganisa would fall under the derecado garlicky (or mabawang) category. The longganisas are said to be very flavorful and stuffed with enough garlic to ward off aswangs. I went around Tuguegarao and saw these longganisas at the Don Domingo Public Market.
This is the Vigan longganisa. The derecado or garlicky longganisa is sold almost everywhere in Vigan. This one I saw along Crisologo Street where they sell those bibingkas.
