Bussin! 9/10 The mushroom bun is ok. The looks are spectacular, the flavor is just md. 6.5/10 Bean Curd skin. That's a favorite of mine. 8.6/10 The meatballs, another favorite of mine 8.9/10 Then there's the signature pork Buns. Of course these can get a 9.5/10 My favorite thing to get here is this. The rice in lotus leaf dish. So much comfort in this plate, it can get a 10/10. If you ever make it to Taguig, do give this spot a proper go at it and let me know what you think.

We came for lunch and had no problem getting a table for 5. Fast friendly service and good dim sum, although I thought there would be more options to choose from.

Ambience: Restaurant has plenty of seats with different table sizes. Daytime light coming through the windows is relaxing, and good thing it isn't direct; it feels like morning at lunch time. It's also well-ventilated like other branches so far. For first-timers, each table has order sheets. You'll write down the quantity of each item you want and food photos are available on the paper placemat. Food: Congee with Lean Pork Century Egg & Salted Egg is good! I know it's just rice porridge but I still enjoy the thickness of it. Salted egg is the best part and the century egg works like a flavor-enhancer since it comes in tiny pieces. Cold Barley Water was interesting to try since I've only had it warm elsewhere. It's okay but I think I'm fine with water. It has some weight as you drink it but not like a shake; feels like drinking guyabano. Dimsum - I'd recommend any. All I've tried are excellent! Pork Buns - Must have at every visit. Service: Waiting time was reasonable. They gave typically good service but nothing out of the ordinary. I wish I got my change faster because I wanted to give my table to the 3 groups around me asap. Everyone was giving me glances, including one of the other servers, and I just wished the change could teleport to me instead.

Open daily until 3am in the morning. So my dear Tim Ho Wan has been getting some mixed views, which is justifiable with its Michelin star attract high expectations. I'm not going to sugar coat it, I do find the food just above average in taste, but I've come to that conclusion on my first time at their Glorietta branch. What's keeps coming back is their consistency and simplicity. They're a reliable place that I'd chose when my tummy rumbles and my brain has no time to plan a foodie adventure. Tim Ho Wan's 6th branch in the Philippines and with such a positive response on their first 2 days of operations, we wouldn't be shocked they'd open more. In fact they'll be opening their first branch in Cebu at the SM Seaside Cebu soon. The menu is simple, it's displayed right on the paper place mat and ordering is easy as writing down the quantity of your desired item(s) on the piece of paper they provide. The ambiance is airy and bright. It's ground level location is ideal for post party meals and for past midnight food crawls. What We Ate Spinach with shrimp Dumpling (120 PHP) A green filled Dumpling with a decent veggie bite to it. Prawn Dumpling (160 PHP) 4 pieces of happiness and equally divided for us two brothers. No awkward third piece courtesy argument with this order. It's our and many others favourite for its smooth texture and freshness waiting inside. Rice with Chicken and Chicken (170 PHP) Slightly premium in price for a topped rice bowl. The sauce in the rice bowl from the mushrooms is comforting and enhanced with their special sauce added upon serving. Rice with Beef and Egg (170 PHP) Another rice bowl topped with a centimeter thick beef patty and fried egg. The beef is nothing to rave about, simply a compact meat patty. Pork Buns with BBQ (145 PHP) This is a must try even if you just order this. Hit of tangy sweetness and overall a good feeling bite. Crisp body and filled with delicious fillings.
