Guests should also expect a parade of Cantonese dim sum including the well-loved pork siomai, hakaw, checken feet and other dumplings prepared in the traditional Cantonese style
Across the capitol, we were surprised to see a Chinese restaurant, Classic Dimsum. According to the staff, their best sellers are their seafood dishes, especially the crab dishes
Yes, even the merienda is homemade – from lumpia (spring rolls) to siomai (Chinese dumplings), to Filipino sweets such as ube halaya (ube stirred and cooked over a slow fire overnight) and pastillas (local candy), one can fill his or her stomach with nearly anything available for a very low price
These dumplings are highly recommended, along with the more common choices of Siomai and Hakaw. Ying Ying Tea House has been making waves in the foodie scene over the past few years as one of the best Chinese restaurants in Binondo
The familiar Siumai or siomai is also another popular option at the rolling dim sum cart, with its savory filling of minced ground pork, shrimps, mushrooms, and green onions
I prefer char sui bao, she likes siomai. In a bowl, combine Chinese wine, soy sauce, salt and sugar. Not only do I long for our long conversations about anything and everything, I also miss our many food adventures
“The siomai is very meaty, with a clean taste of shrimp and pork, and a very thin wrapper. These three Chinese characters mean that the heavens will always, continuously pour its blessings and prosperity ~ in this case, food
Crab Roe Siomai - the usual pork siomai with some addition if crab roe on top. After going to a wake of a deceased relative, we stopped by at a good food restaurant, Causeway, Banawe Ave, Quezon City
