For a craving of your ideal Chinese cuisine, welcome to Yokohama China Town!

A glimpse at a restaurant's window food display would excite the butterflies in your stomach more!

Welcome to Manpaku (full stomach) Daihanten Restaurant!

Faces of hungry travelers excited for their orders

Good noon, may I take your orders?

Shrimp covered with chili-paste, locals call this Ebi-chilli

Growl! Growl! Growl! Said our tummies, as we stared at the tasty-looking dish

Taah dahh! The Hundred Years Old Egg (I thought the person who preserved this already passed away, but I was surprised to know that these eggs were just preserved for 3 or 4 months... Oh! Too much for my excitement)

Donald Duck hates this dish... this is how his great great grandparents died... turned in to a Crispy Duck Skin dish... Thanks to the Chinese! Locals call this Peking duck.

This is how we eat the Crispy Duck Skin... Step one, check if your fingernails are clean, before proceeding...

Steps in eating the Crispy Duck Skin. Step two: Hurry up coz I'm starving!

Dumplings for the three hungry wise men, oh! I mean, travelers. Locals call these shoronpo.

More dumplings to feast on...

One of their main attractions -- Shark Fin Soup! -- No wonder Hollywood never produced another the Jaws movies anymore, thanks to the Chinese again.

They serve TsingTao premium! But our intestines have been straightened, let's give thanks to Manpaku DaiHanten! We are Manapaku.

Thank you for dining in Yokohama Chinatown, see you again next time! Sayonara! Good bye! Zaijian!

Walking on the busy streets of Yokohama, under the sun's scorching heat drained our energy and stirred the butterflies in our bellies. We stopped at Chinatown for a good lunch and sightseeing. But, as we walked around the town, the streets were lined with so many restaurant choices that deciding where to eat was no joke! After 30-minutes we chose Manpaku (Full Stomach) Daihanten Restaurant. As we entered the glass doors, the butterflies in my tummy were uncontrollable. Nevertheless, they were comforted with an array of food choices. We indulged in authentic Chinese food. Indeed, Chinatown was a comfort to three hungry travelers, despite the long minutes of restaurant-hunting.
