What We Ate in Binondo (Girls’ Binondo Food Trip)
By becky.ignacio | December 29, 2011
It was the 19th of August and fortunately, it was a special holiday for Quezon City (as well as for the provinces of Quezon and Aurora) to commemorate the late Manuel Quezon’s birthday. Lucky enough, our office address tells us that we are located in QC when it actually looks like we are in Pasig (city). So we, girls, decided to spend our free day in Binondo and taste their mouth-watering offerings.
Meeting Place: Binondo Church, Manila
Attendees: Pearl, Elaine, Glad, Jen, and Becky
Meeting Date and Time: August 19, 2011 9:00 AM
