(SPOT.ph) There's no way you can get hungry in Binondo, not with the abundance of eateries in the area, even if you're on the tightest of budgets. If you ever find yourself in the neighborhood for roast duck and lo mien, don't leave without getting your XLB fix at Eng Bee Tin's Ongpin flagship store. And we're not talking your typical dumplings—the Chinese deli has launched Fried Xiao Long Bao.

Eng bee Tin launches Fried Xiao Long Bao exclusively in Binondo:
Eng Bee Tin has several branches, from kiosks to stand-alone shops, scattered all over the country. It's their flagship store along Ongpin in Binondo that serves up fried xiao long bao, and only on weekends.
They fry the dumpling on the spot, until it gets that browned bottom that adds a satisfying crunch when you bite into it. Then you have the option to drizzle (or drown) it in the xiao long bao dipping sauce.
As of writing, Eng Bee Tin does not serve the fried xiao long bao in any of their other branches. If you can't go to their Binondo flagship store anytime soon, they do have the frozen version you can cook at home.
Eng Bee Tin's flagship store is located at 628 Ongpin Street, Binondo, Manila. For more information, check out Eng Bee Tin's Facebook page.
