Whenever I visit my parents in Sta. Mesa, we always find ourselves either in SM Sta. Mesa or Fishermall. There are only a few choices of restaurants on both malls but we have our favorites.
Fishermall housed a lot of fast food chains but there are a few restaurants I would call "Comfortable" enough for the whole family! One restaurant we visited twice in a month is called Dimsum Place, I would call this restaurant very similar to Tim Ho Wan (due to the availability of Pork Buns) but has wider range of menu!
Trust me when I say WIDER because they have almost everything you are looking for in a CHINESE restaurant - well, except a Chinese Manager who would get your orders in Chinese *lol*
Baked Barbecue Pork Bun
(Php120.00)
This earns thumbs up from me! The bread is quite close to the ones we love at Tim Ho Wan but sweeter.
The pork is very saucy and I like how everything was crumby and soft and melts in your mouth!
For the price, it was worth getting 2 orders or 3!
