Tim Ho Wan, Cebu’s first and only Michelin-rated restaurant, to open on March 25
Crumbly and fluffy on the outside and oozing with barbecued pork on the inside, Tim Ho Wan PH 's famous Baked Buns is worth the wait.
Tim Ho Wan, Hong Kong’s famous Michelin-starred dim sum restaurant, is opening in Cebu at the Upper Ground Floor, Mountain Wing of SM Seaside City on Saturday, March 25. This will be its 7th branch in the country. First outside Metro Manila and first and only Michelin-rated restaurant in Cebu.
Tim Ho Wan started in 2009 when Chef Mak Kwan Pui and Chef Lung Fai Keun opened a modest 20-seater hole-in-the-wall eatery in Mongkok, Hong Kong. A year after, it earned the coveted star in the 2010 HK and Macau Michelin guide. The international benchmark of good food and highest form of recognition in the culinary world.
Since then, the restaurant branched out around Hong Kong and brought its delicious and affordable dim sum overseas with its first international location in Singapore in 2013. It then expanded to the Philippines in 2014. Followed by Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, Thailand, Macau, and most recently New York.
Dim Sum Specialists
Its inclusion in the Michelin guide was unprecedented at a time when only fine dining and expensive restaurants dominated the list. Renowned as the “most affordable Michelin-starred restaurant in the world”. The accolade was a testament to the affordable luxury that Tim Ho Wan consistently offers in terms of taste, quality, and value. Tim Ho Wan, in Cantonese, translates to “more good luck” but its brand philosophy is anchored on dim sum perfection. From dish placement, service delivery, to specific sizing of every morsel, right down to the folds of the snowy skins for dumplings. This precision takes years of mastery to instill, and the consistency in taste and freshness across every Tim Ho Wan outlet is evident. The dim sum is handmade-to-order, not pre-steamed and reheated, to keep its much-intended flavor and texture. About 70% of its premium ingredients are imported from Hong Kong.
