Review of JJ's Dimsum and Restaurant

​A budget Chinese in Tagbilaran

Where to have a good meal for reasonable prices in Tagbilaran city? Try the JJ's Dimsum and Restaurant along the Carlos P. Garcia Ave. It's a Chinese style restaurant 5 min walking distance from BQ mall. They have many dishes on the menu and some of them would be suitable for vegetarians. But as always in the Philippines, ask specifically if it's meat in the vegetarian dish you plan to order. I noticed too many times there can be meat in so called vegetarian dishes.

Spicy pork steamed rice topping.

​Rice toppings

Around lunch time they serve these delicious small rice toppings for just 50 PHP each. There are different toppings with rice beneath. If you are hungry like me, just order two or more and you will be set for the day!

​They have a regular menu also

The menu is extensive and you can choose between chicken, beef, pork, fish, vegetables etc all in Chinese style. As the name of the restaurant indicates, they also have a variety of dim sum. For example the Siopao which is common everywhere in the Philippines as street food. Siopao literally means "steamed bun" and is the Philippine version of the Cantonese steamed bun called cha siu bao. Siopao does not require utensils to eat and therefore perfect to be consumed on-the-go.
