Chinatown MNL

14/10/2024

On this National Dessert Day, let’s put the spotlight on masachi, an underrated, overlooked dessert in Chinatown MNL. While it’s similar to buchi or mochi, this soft, chewy treat is unique in its own way.

Made from glutinous rice flour and often filled with peanut or toasted sesame seeds, masachi can be either coated or left plain, sometimes dusted with crushed peanut.

Masachi is typically made to order and not always available, often priced higher than its sticky dessert counterparts, but it’s worth the wait and every bite.

You can find this simple yet irresistible treat at UNO Restaurant, Cosmos Food Gallery, and Golden Fortune Restaurant — only in Chinatown MNL!

Here’s a throwback photo of the old Lucky Chinatown branch.

The ultimate cool-down companion is now a street sensation on Ongpin Street. While not exactly new — Vege Select has been offering this halo-halo for years — they’ve now introduced this in a cool new tub. 🍧

The regular size costs P80, while the large (Promax) is priced at P150.

Have you had the chance to visit the newly renovated Tropical Hut in Escolta? While it might not be the most common stop for food crawls, being situated away from the more famous Ongpin and Salazar Streets, this classic Filipino burger joint truly deserves some love.

This branch in Escolta, the only one in downtown Manila, now boasts a fresh, modern look. As per their branch manager, this renovation is their way of thanking their customers who have supported the brand throughout the years – even before its resurgence in 2022. 🍔

Question: Ano ang kwentong Tropical Hut mo?
