What Is Tikoy? (Factory Tour in Binondo)

Tikoy is more than a Chinese New Year staple. It is a symbol of tradition, celebration, and family for many Filipino Chinese households. In this episode, Trish Chua goes behind the scenes of Eng Bee Tin in Manila's Chinatown in Binondo, to see how tikoy is made from scratch to understand the scale and craftsmanship behind the process. Through taste, texture, and story, we look at why tikoy remains a timeless part of Filipino celebrations.
