Food Trip in Cebu: Siomai sa Tisa

After our 1st Cebu spot adventure in Lapu-Lapu Shrine, in Mactan. We headed off onto our next destination, but since that time was almost 12 o’clock noon and our tummies are already rumbling and shouting “human, we want food!”. And so, we told our cab driver to head off to Tisa, Labangon, Cebu and try their famous Siomai!

By the time that we got there… Hmmm, I don’t even remember how many minutes our travel was. I only remember was that, I was so hungry back then that I even want to volunteer to open all the siomai stalls in that area. Hahaha it’s because most of the siomai stalls in Tisa opens around 4 in the afternoon until the wee hours of the morning. Fortunately, there are a few stalls who are open during that time. Whew! Thank God for them. Alright, it’s time to dig in and feed our tummies.

… And boom! Wow! Siomai sa Tisa was delightfully delicious-better than the other siomai that is being sold at the malls. Because, it has its own distinct flavor, it is soft and fresh.

Consumed with chilli sauce and a nice cold bottle of softdrink, the combo is oh so perfect and yummy! And would you believe that each siomai only cost around 6 pesos? Hahaha believe it. ^_^

Aside from siomai, those stalls also serve siopao and “puso” or hanging rice, which consists of rice wrapped in lukay or young coconut leaves that are weaved in such a way that it creates a little bag for the rice, and which is then boiled. Nothing beats the combo of siomai, chilli sauce and puso, and at very affordable price. *omnomnom*
