Cold Cuts @ Ying Ying
Cold cuts composed of chicken, asado, a variety of seaweed, and century eggs. These cold cuts are quite refreshing, but I am no fan of the chicken because of its little bones. Their asado dishes are just the juiciest (Ying Ying and Wai Ying have the best asado in Binondo). We don’t eat century...
