Kuchay Dumpling Filling and Xiao Long Bao at Dong Bei
Hats off to Nat Bucag for bringing us to Dong Bei in Ongpin. It was a long walk to this one obscure street (Yuchengco St.), got to this small hole-in-the-wall restaurant, and waited for a while to get in. There was this food tour group inside, so they didn’t have any space left inside. Binitin pa kami. Hihi.
Lo and behold, that small hole-in-the-wall served the best dumplings evaaaar! They were making them right in front of us, so we took the liberty of taking photos. Devoured several pieces of xiao long bao & dumplings. Also finished a bowl of beef noodle soup by myself. HGNGHHH!! And it only cost Php750 (total) for a pig-out of four people. GAAAAAH. Ongpin, Y U SO FAR AWAY?
