New Toho Food Center: One of the oldest in Binondo

Started in the lucky year of 1888, Toho Food Center was originally called Toho Panciteria Antigua before it was burnt in 1984 and was rebuilt and named "New" Toho Food Center. Located along Tomas Pin Pin St., New Toho Food Center is considered as one of the oldest restaurants not only in Binondo but also in the Philippines. This restaurant already existed at the time of Jose Rizal and he sometimes ate here while studying at Intramuros.

[caption id="attachment_178" align="alignnone" width="720"] Toho Beef (medium) - 390 pesos[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_176" align="alignnone" width="720"] Chop Seuy (medium) - 290 pesos[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_175" align="alignnone" width="720"] Lumpiang Shanghai (medium) - 320 pesos[/caption]

Nothing special about the taste of their food but their servings are quite large. Finishing these 4 dishes (plus plain rice) was quite a challenge for me and my friends (4 hungry people).
