I think specialty delis/food stores have their own unique charm and Bee Tin in Bindondo is no exception. Located at the heart of Binondo on Ongpin Street, Bee Tin has not changed much over the years, making it a must-see stop in Chinatown. The Chinese deli/food mart has everything you need from preserves, imported food, Chinese candies and sweets, cured/smoked meats, dehydrated produce, frozen goods and more. I really like going here because there's so much to see and buy that's not usually in your local grocery. I think I picked up the habit of learning how to appreciate delis such as Bee Tin thanks to my grandma who'd always bring me whenever she needs to replenish her supply of preserves. Speaking of preserves, you really have to taste Bee Tin's selection because there's a lot of them! They are neatly stored in bins and you can buy them according to weight. My favorites are the plums - they are pretty large and the mix of sweet and sour has a nice effect on the palette. Another thing I'm crazy about is Bee Tin's beef jerky. While they also have the packaged kind of beef jerkey (I'm looking at you Cow Label), their own mix of the large and leathery strips of beef is a class of its own. You can also purchase these according to weight, and we tend to buy a lot of it. (Might as well make the drive worth it right?) The taste of the beef jerky plays between sweet and salty and the meat itself isn't too hard to chew on. Before I go to the check out counter, I also make a beeline to the chocolates and candies section. Sometimes they stock these really weird but good gummy candies from China (I once bought P5 packets of peach and cola flavored candies - these were really good!), and they also have imported Japanese chocolate snacks like Pocky. Other stuff you can see at Bee Tin are the packaged noodle soups, dry seaweed, Chinese candies and chocolates, haw flakes and lots more other stuff. Another plus for Bee Tin is that their prices are a lot cheaper than in regular groceries. read more

Bee Tin Grocery - Bee Tin's well-stocked shelves - Specialty Food Near Me - Manila, NCR

Bee Tin is fantastic, really! If you're on the way to do a Chinatown food trip, make sure never to leave this place out. Bee Tin Grocery is right on Ongpin st, and is easy to spot, with the colorful sign outside the door and harried Chinese customers going in and out of the grocery . The place has got about everything you need in Asian cooking. You want some Chinese white wine ? How about some sweet soy sauce? The famous spicy sriracha sauce? They've got it! And they're cheap too! One bottle of sriracha would cost you less than 110PHP when other groceries have it priced at nearly double the price. Speaking of cooking, you could probably buy the whole contents of a Chinese restaurant from this place, bar the fresh ingredients. Need some noodles? How about some fungus? Leaves for tea? Spices for that indian curry you've been wanting to make but are too lazy to grind? Bee Tin's got it for you. They've also got Chinese snacks that are commonly found in Aji Ichiban stores around the city, but far cheaper! They've also got stuff that's for the more adventurous palate. As will all stores in Chinatown, you're better of carrying cash rather than cards, and in small bills so you could pay faster at the cashier. I'd recommend you do a circuit of the whole store first and think about your budget (As compared to taking everything out of the rack and having to return them later on haha). Or better yet, it'd be cool if you already have something in mind to look for, else you might be stuck there for quite some time, mesmerized by all the stuff they have. (Trust me, it happens) read more
