Call me clueless, but it was my first time to try Manila Chinatown's famed estero cuisine during our food trip last Saturday and I absolutely loved it. Thanks to Eric for pointing out the nondescript row of eateries to me which is located along the river; hence the name estero or estuary, I suppose. Seaside restos - where you buy the goodies fresh and have them cooked before your eyes- have mushroomed in Manila but the one in Ongpin estero remains. What I really dig about the place: it was dirt cheap! ... Continue Reading...

No.... not even the calesa rides in Intramuros or roaming the length of Baywalk and Luneta. The highlight always is the trip to the gay bar where (aherrmm) pretty, sexy and independent women like us ogle at well-endowed men in their ... Continue Reading...
Kalesa (horse-drawn carriage), Manila
Kalesa I took this picture of a kalesa while on my Binondo trip last weekend. It seemed like such a novelty beside the gleaming Toyota sedans and Pajeros that were parked in Chinatown. Considering that these horse-driven carriages were introduced by our Spanish conquerors in the 18th century, it's hard to imagine that these means of transport are now over 200 years old! ...
