"Manila's 12 Oldest Restaurants" according to Esquire are:
[1] New Toho Restaurant (established 1866), [2] Ambos Mundos (established 1888), [3] Ilang-Ilang Restaurant (established 1908-1910), [4] Ma Mon Luk (established 1920), [5] Ramon Lee's Panciteria (established 1929), [6] Aristocrat (established 1936), [7] Ongpin Manosa (established 1940), [8] Boy Ching Woo (established 1939), [9] Max's Restaurant (established 1945), [10] Little Quiapo (established 1949), [11] Chuan Kee (established 1940s), and [12] Shantung Restaurant (established 1958).
In Binondo we converged, I from Bangkok and they from Nueva Ecija, and walked to a Sunday dinner of pancit canton and fried chicken at No. 5, and paella in No. 2.
No. 3 is still closed when we came the next day, and so is No. 1 where I previously lunched on pancit canton and lumpiang shanghai, and No. 7 too where I once snacked on ma-chang.
We instead broke our fast with bangus tausi and beef mami at Ang Tunay Beef House which although almost 40 years old is not as old, and stopped for a congee and lechong kawali at No. 11.
We've had meals at No. 4 (siopao and mami), No. 6 (adobo sandwich and chicken barbecue) and No. 9 (fried chicken+) before so that leaves only No. 3, No. 8, No. 10 and No. 12 to be explored soon.
And yes, we paid homage to what remains of the Panciteria Macanista de Buen Gusto of El Filibusterismo before travelling to the airport for our flight to Iloilo.
