What is Dimsum Break, and why do Cebuanos love it?
Dimsum Break grew out of Cebu’s Ding How Dimsum House, which pioneered all-day dim sum dining in Cebu in 1969. Dimsum Break itself launched in 1996, built for mall diners who wanted dim sum late into the night, and it kept the menu tight: steamed and fried dim sum, rice pots, noodles, shaopao, and simple desserts. The idea still holds today. You order a rice pot, add a few dim sum pieces, and you have a full meal without a fine dining bill.
Budget pick
Vegetable dumplings at ₱99 are the cheapest dim sum order, and a pork asado mini shaopao costs ₱64. A filling solo meal can stay under ₱250 if you pair a rice pot with one dim sum order.
First-timer order
Steamed fried rice at ₱127, bacon shaomai at ₱119, and spring rolls at ₱133. That trio covers the rice pot, a steamed favorite, and a fried favorite in one sitting.
Group order
Start with two rice pots and a spread of steamed and fried dim sum, then add shaopao and desserts to share. Value meals from ₱159 to ₱247 also work well for solo diners who want a set plate.
