Erwan Heussaff is out in the streets of Chinatown in Manila for a crash course about the ancient roots of Chinese-Filipino heritage. Binondo is the oldest Chinatown in the world which just turned 430 years old this 2024. Its streets have witnessed countless historical moments, its restaurants have hosted national heroes, and some of the businesses have been passed down from many generations.
We’re visiting Eng Bee Tin, To-Ho Panciteria Antigua, Masuki, and other important spots in the area, so stay with us until the end!
