Hmmm... a trip to binondo won't be complete without that authentic dimsum fix.
My top places are Wai ying, Ying ying, golden fortune, david's and president's teahouse. But if you want dimsum that won't cost an arm and a leg, you better head your butt to waiying. Located in benavides st. waiying fastfood is no frills type dimsum place. the menu consisting of favorites and then some are on a laminated menu with both friendly english and chinese. the siomai here is good, president's is better but for 55 (2012 price is now 70) per order who's complaining? my list of must-orders: roast duck noodle or rice at 120 bucks this is sulit. the roast duck is crunchy and done right. shrimp or asado cheung fan, a flat roll with shrimp or pork dipped in soy sauce, pork siomai,
steamed tofu, curry beef siomai (fried beef dumpling in curry sauce) and the radish cake. if you want rice toppings, there are modern favorites like lemon chicken, honey-baked rib, curry, and chicken with black mushroom (my favorite). and mind you they don't scrimp on rice so its better shared.
ps if you're a bit queasy about interiors wai ying might NOT be the place for you. the tables need to be replaced but i'm quite comfy with the light blue blah paint and interiors. so find the yum in dimsum at waiying!
