Our first visit to Manila, Philippines

Written By Distill

Our family arrived in Manila late last night—and after a travel day of uncertainty that was caused by a powerful typhoon sweeping through the northern Philippines the previous evening. We weren’t sure we were going to make it into town at all, but now that we’re here, we’re ready to explore the city’s sites and bites. Today, we’re trying to fit in way too many stops, including but not limited to, checking out the Manila baywalk and beach, visiting the largest mall in Asia, exploring the top street food of the oldest chinatown in the world, and eating the cheapest Michelin-starred meal on the planet.
