Siomai sa Tisa
One late evening, Doi and I went out for a quick late-night dinner. I was craving for some Siomai cause it’s been a while since I last had some.
She asked me if I’ve already eaten Siomai sa Tisa, I of course said, YES, there’s one in Fuente. Her eyes turned wide, not believing that I didn’t know that there’s such a place called Tisa and that’s where the siomai craze in Cebu started. So off we drove somewhere in Labangon.
Anyway, Siomai is one of the reasons why I love Cebu. They’re cheap and they taste good; especially on a tired day. People from different walks of life and class status would drop by the place just to have their fill of this food.

there’s a siomai sa tisa branch just across Fooda in Guadalupe. What really stands out is their chili sauce. I use the pus-o to good use and scrape whatever sauce is left on the plate. Don’t forget to wash it down with some ice cold mountain dew!
i haven’t tried the siomai sa tisa in Guadalupe. haha, nothing beats the chili sauce. but i need to have some calamansi to moderate it. suddenly im craving for some more siomai again neste. hehe
i’ve got to taste “siomai sa tisa”. maau ra gyud sa storya akong mga kauban. mantiner lang tawn og ho lee chow sa ayala. =D

Miss na ni nako bro! hehehe Thanks sa pag visit sa other blog, oh welpz yeah 10 na cla kabuok in fairness excluding the not for general public sites. winkz
wow! siomai, there’s nothing better like it. hail to the one who invented it.hehehe i need like ten siomai to satisfy my tummy….
lex: haha, it’s been a long while since i last tasted siomai sa tisa lex. hehe. no prob. wow 10 sites! whew. haha
rols: i can only finish like 5 rols. but i pair it with maybe 7 puso. hehe
I usually buy 1:1 ratio siomai and puso. Eat siomai first then follow it up with the whole puso. then go to siomai number 2 and so on and so forth hehehe
neste: haha. that ratio wouldn’t work for me neste, especially since I need some more puso to equalize it’s taste, not to mention the spice of the chili sauce. hehe
Wa pa gyud tawn. Sige lang ko maglaway sa storya from friends who’ve eaten there. Nah naglaway na gani ko ron just thinking about the chili sauce…yummy! Hehe!
lourie: haha. me too, especially late at nights.
lourie, I would recommend you taste the real “Siomai sa Tisa.” The one in Labangon. Nothing compares to the freshness of the siomais there. The siomai wrappers in Fuente are probably dry and u can taste the meat not being fresh na…The one in Labangon is open from 4pm to the wee hours of the morning if i’m not mistaken…hehehe… (or until they ran out of siomais. sometimes they ran out of puso at dawn)
hi eds! i completely forgot u took pictures of the place. hehehe
doi: all hail doi; a true advocate of Siomai sa Tisa, not just any tisa, it’s the Original Siomai sa Tisa! hehe. which reminds me doi, i should post the pictures in larsian. hehe
