Our orientation seminar for Monique's winter study tour to China went on without a hitch, and we decided to have lunch in nearby President Tea House on Salazar St., itself a dining institution in the Binondo area (the tea house serves dimsum and home-style food, while the restaurant along Ongpin serves the fancy fishes). Of course, we sat down and point out five dimsum items, which was served at our table in an instant--chicken feet, shark's fin siomai, ha kaw (shrimp dumplings), bird eye dumplings (don't worry, it's not what you think, it's just how the dumpling is called) and hand minced meat wrapped in tofu skins.
We were so hungry that we got an order of beef ho fan (flat rice noodles, which is under the beef in the picture below), which is the favorite of Monique, Not contented, we got another order of shrimp bacon rolls, which was one of their chef specials for the month. This came in piping hot, and the taste was very delicious. Our bill came to P450 per head, but I could say we that we ate enough food for three people!
