34 Reviews I was staying recently in Manila Pavilion hotel and Casino on UN Avenue and found out a fab veggie joint in the Robinson Mall.

15 Reviews I have been to many Chinatowns around the world, but I consider the one in Manila the best because it is very nostalgic for me. The streets are very small and my father would drive me around with his Lambretta motor scooter and then we would look for siopao (which is meat in a white floury cover)...

24 Reviews The place looked inviting with plenty of people and cultures from different places. But, don't be deceived. It is not a wholesome place to start with and those who are looking for decent places should steer clear of this place as it is prowled by ladies of the night. I wonder whatever happened to...

14 Reviews The two main markets in Manila are the Baclaran market near the end of EDSA and Divisoria market on the other side of the city near Quiapo.

25 Reviews Previously, someone said you needed to dress up - don't wear shorts and t-shirts. I respectfully disagree with that. During the day plenty people wear shorts.

Capital City of the Philippines

Manila is underrated as a tourist destination. It has fun places to go to. And plenty of history and art also. This is a picture of Intramuros at night.
