What is the cheapest item at Wai Ying?
Two items tie for cheapest at ₱50: the nai cha, which is Wai Ying's signature HK-style milk tea, and the black gulaman. The nai cha is the smarter pick if you only get one, since it is the drink the shop is known for and reviewers consistently name it. If you want the cheapest solid food, the beef balls at ₱55 for 3 pieces take the crown, with the siomai right behind at ₱60 for 4.

The under-P80 lineup
Fourteen orders, all under ₱80, and the list reads like a greatest hits of a Cantonese teahouse: siomai, hakaw, shark's fin dumpling, cheung fan, beef balls, asado roll, chicken feet. The trick is that almost everything comes as an order of 3 to 4 pieces, so two orders plus a ₱50 drink is already a meal. My move on a tight day: siomai at ₱60, beef balls at ₱55, and a nai cha at ₱50. That is ₱165 for food and drink that would cost double at a mall food court.
How do you eat a full meal at Wai Ying for under ₱150?
Easy, because the cheapest orders are also the most filling ones. A dim sum basket plus a drink is a legitimate meal here, not a snack. For bigger appetites, the Wai Ying value meals guide breaks down the combo math.
| Combo | What you get | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Siomai + Black Gulaman | 4 pcs siomai, iced gulaman | ₱110 |
| Beef Balls + Siomai | 3 pcs beef balls, 4 pcs siomai | ₱115 |
| Cheung Fan + Milk Tea with Jelly | Shrimp rice rolls, jelly milk tea | ₱120 |
| Hakaw + Nai Cha | 4 pcs hakaw, signature milk tea | ₱115 |
| Shark's Fin + Iced Lemon Tea | 4 pcs dumplings, iced lemon tea | ₱115 - ₱135 |
Are Wai Ying's cheapest items actually good?
Yes, and that is the whole point. The siomai is famous for being firm and meaty rather than mushy, and the hakaw has whole shrimp in a thin skin, the way it should be. Several of these cheap orders also rank among the Wai Ying best sellers, which tells you the value is real and not just a low sticker price. The drinks are simple and honest: the nai cha is the one to judge the shop by.
