After church my brothers and I decided to try the place that my friends speak highly of, to check it out and see if it lives up to it's hype. True enough there is authenticity in its Chinese cuisine, dishes that has rich and diversified but harmonious color, aromatic flavor, and excellent taste. I came for their dimsum, The choices are limited but I must say, by far, it's the best dimsum I ever had in Cebu City. I'm done eating dimsum at the mall. I also tried the other dishes my brothers ordered, and I say this place has the best Chinese food I ever had in Cebu City, The place was packed but we got there just 5 minutes before all tables were taken. The servers were quite efficient, patient and friendly. The place was kinda noisy during lunch time. Happy diners maybe?

We always get the shrimp dumplings and the soup dumplings. Dip them in chili sauce and wow! Delicious! The seafood is always fresh. They have live fish, lobster, and even eel that you can pick from outside. May not be a good idea for animal lovers though or for anyone not into that sort of thing, i mean seeing that their meal was alive just a few minutes ago. But anyway, their food is really flavorful. And from what i hear, chefs are really from places such as hongkong etc and so the taste they put into their food is really authentic chinese. I got to try the spinach soup today too and it was surprisingly really good! They added egg, tofu and shrimp so it tasted more like a healthy egg drop! I loved it! Gotta check this place out if you havent yet.

The second was soup - and it was served cold! That was a disappointing start to the meal. Singapore style chili crab, while the most expensive (almost 3k for a kilo of shriveled crab), tasted average and wasn't very flavorful. The buchi balls smelled bad off the fryer. But they did quite well on cha misua, fried lapu-lapu, and Peking duck that we ordered. Service is always good, but the kitchen can be very slow to serve. A little on the pricey side, but Cebuanos now have little choice for Chinese seafood restaurants since Choi closed too. Tao Yuan is probably the best from the Manila imports.

We walk in hoping for something outstanding, but sadly, it's just the same moderately-flavoured stuff: ordered the grilled boneless bangus (milk fish), lato beaded seaweed 'salad,' grilled pecho (breast/winged) chicken, and a green buko (coconut) juice drink with the usual wee bit of soft flesh. All was okay, but no being able to apply spices and herbs beyond the predictable raw onions, scattered raw semi-hot little peppers, soy sauce and whitish vinegar means that the relative tastelessness of it all lands flat as if into the swamp from where some of it sprang. Too bad, but Neo Neo by Jing Jing at the J. Centre Mall - this specific venue - is in a bad location, and as per the food, wouldn't cut it at any chicken or seafood operation in the developed world. If you want better grilled chicken, try the tastier Jo's Inato in the Visayas (but not Manga Inasato). Sorry readers, but if you dislike mediocrity, skip Neo Neo!

In a way I lucked out as I was able to finally try the famed BAKED BBQ PORK BUNS on my last trip to Cebu without having to wait in agony for their doors to open at Diamond Jamboree Plaza, Irvine. Served hot and fresh, a tip is to break it apart first to let the steam come out and cool down a bit before touching your lips. The bread itself is glorious with high marks on texture and taste while the bbq pork was sweet, savory, and just delicious. For this alone, now I understand why the Hong Kong location has been awarded a Michelin star; the cheapest restaurant yet. Featuring mainly dim sum dishes, I pleasantly devoured their siumai, vermicelli roll with shrimp, pan fried radish cake, spare ribs rice, wasabi prawn dumpling, and dumpling in spicy sauce. I wouldn't say they're the best I've had as most are comparable to what I can get from Chinese restaurants here, some even better. So long as you're here for those buns, you won't be disappointed. True story.

The ambience is awful. It's a friggin' zoo. Loud, uncontrolled children ruining any ambience it may have once had. The room is "live" anyway, it's not ever going to be subtle. (Just a reminder: chopsticks are not EVER to be used as drumsticks. No. Just no!) They could use more servers.

Service was fast from the time of ordering to the time the food was served. We did not need to wait long before starting to eat. The only miss was that one of our orders which is the Xiamen fried oyster with egg came a lot later than the others. We were almost finished with our food when the oyster was served. Some of the other dishes were already finished and there was not a lot of rice left.
