Oh, it’s Tuesday again…time for the RED thing. Here’s the RED decorative umbrella taken last Sunday in Little Ding How as Ace treated me for lunch. Been craving to eat dimsum for 2 weeks already. Little Ding How and Little Kowloon are our favorite places to go because they have the best dimsum in town at very affordable price. 
Have a happy Tuesday!

Yesterday was a looonnnggggg day. It’s laundry day and I have tons of it. Before Ace left for work, he asked me if I can still do it or will get washing machine to make the load lighter for me. Good thing I’m done with Ace’ pants few days ago. I’m halfway done when my hands are already painful. The detergent I’m using is too harsh for my hands but I’ve been using it for so long and it’s only now that I get scratches. Ace arrived from work early and I showed him my hands. Now he is really thinking of getting a washing machine to save me from those back aches and scratches due to handwashing. Actually, I don’t really like using a machine but that would help with the not so delicate clothes, sheets, blankets and curtains. Hopefully we can get one soon so that PILs will also be saved from going to the laundry shop.

I was raised in the province and I am not that familiar with Chinese cuisine except for the siopao and spring rolls. When I went to Cebu city for my first job hunting after my graduation in college, I was treated by a friend at Ding Qua Qua along Mango Avenue. According to her, they serve the best dimsum in town. Not familiar with their menu, Ate Eunice ordered for me. She ordered steamed rice (it is not the usual steamed rice), siomai, and stuffed shrimp to name a few.
The steamed rice (placed in a white porcelain dish with cover, larger and taller than a usual mug) is composed of diced pork, shrimps, green peas mixed in the cooked rice with some sauce. It is eaten using fork (if you don’t know how to use chopsticks like me) right from its container and it tastes so great. The siomai is so delicious especially with their special sauce/dipping. Stuffed shrimp is made of grounded shrimp formed in a ball (like the size of a siomai) with one tail of shrimp protruding. It’s super delicious and I loved it!
The nice thing about these restaurants aside from the food they serve is the service itself (but you have to wait in line before you can take your seat especially during peak hours). You may be amazed at how they do things inside the restaurant (everybody has their specific role) from getting your orders, serving the food up, to billing you out (the in-charge will just count the empty dishes and presto, you have your bill).
Should you be interested to try dimsum in Cebu, try it out in Ding Qua Qua, Ding How and Harbour City. In Davao, they have Little Ding How along V. Mapa St., and Little Kowloon along Roxas Ave. If we have the “same” taste buds (like my hubby), you’ll surely love it. Try any of their menu and you’ll never regret visiting the said restaurants. You’ll have a great meal at a very reasonable price.
