I was really sour about The Halal Guys opening first in the Philippines before LA so when I heard…read morethe same story with Tim Ho Wan, it came as no surprise to me anymore. 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.

As usual, the food at Tim Ho Wan is very, very good. It's steamed fresh to order, so there always…read morebe a wait from the time that you put in your order. No problem: not my first Dim Sum rodeo. 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. Even getting acknowledged was a battle, A reassurance from the Waiter that he would be with us would have been nice.

This place NEVER gets old. They have many branches all over Cebu so they're easy to locate. We prefer this place over Harbour City dimsum when it comes to food flavor and seasoning. They're located on 3rd floor, near the bowling alley, I tried editing the address but whoever at yelp is changing my post is not paying attention. We always dine on this branch as it is in the mall and close to our place. Their space used to be big, they've shrunk and now it's hard to find a spot on peak hours. They take credit card but because of spotty internet connection, better bring cash.

When I told my friends I was having lunch at Tin Gow, they told me that I should go somewhere else…read more The place was expensive and the food was not so good. So I came with some prejudices when my cousin invited us for her birthday lunch. It was an 11 course meal which she customized and ordered in advance for three tables. First came the dried scallop soup with vegetable green which looked plain and simple, but it surprisingly impressed my taste buds. That first impression got me excited for the dishes that were to follow: Shrimp salad, crispy roasted chicken, steamed Lapulapu fish, Sweet and sour pork, Dim sum sampler platter, braised beef, the birthday pancit, Stir fried green beans, and finally fried rice with fried anchovies. For dessert, it was Japanese fried eggroll with cream cheese and seaweed, and sesame balls. Even I was amazed by my appetite at this table. I loved every single dish. Well prepared, delicious, properly textured and well presented. I was looking forward to their Peking duck which was not available because of the pandemic. I learned they import their Peking duck from Hongkong. I guess that will be a good reason to go back. I will definitely proclaim Tin Gow as one of the best, if not the best Chinese restaurant in Cebu. I believe good restaurant food is knowing what to order and what you're ordering. Prior visits aid in making that decision. Knowing the chef and talking to them also helps. This was definitely a gastronomically memorable dining experience.

You line up at the counter, pick your favorite dimsum items, pay the cashier, then take a seat. The food did not taste fresh, but that was not the biggest disappointment.
