Which Wai Ying new menu items launched in 2026?
Wai Ying does not do big press-release launches. New dishes just show up, first as specials on the shop's official Facebook, then on the menu board if they sell. That is how lemon chicken, fishball mami, fried wantons, and buchi all arrived in 2026. Here is everything I could confirm from the shop's own posts and Binondo food guides, checked October 2026.

What is new at Wai Ying in 2026?
The short version: summer 2026 was the busiest stretch for new dishes in years. July brought the fishball mami (₱260) and buchi (₱130) features on the shop's Facebook, August added lemon chicken and the sliced fish congee special, and the fried wantons got their own feature at ₱280 in late August. The drinks list quietly gained milk tea with jelly at ₱60. Nothing here replaced an old favorite, so the classics are all still on the board.
Lemon chicken and fried cua pao
The lemon chicken is the headline launch. Crispy fried chicken pieces tossed in a tangy lemon sauce, it landed on the official Facebook in August 2026 and it is the dish regulars keep asking about. The fried cua pao is the quieter newcomer, a fried bread item that showed up on the recent menu without much fanfare. Neither has a published price online yet, which is common for fresh launches at Wai Ying. Ask at the counter before ordering, and go to the Binondo main branch if you want the best chance of finding both.
What do the new Wai Ying items cost?
Confirmed new-item prices sit in the same ₱50 to ₱280 band as the rest of the menu, so nothing here breaks Wai Ying's budget reputation. The priciest newcomer is the fried wantons at ₱280, and the cheapest is milk tea with jelly at ₱60. Delivery prices on GrabFood run higher than dine-in, as always.
How do the new items compare to Wai Ying classics?
The newcomers fit right into the Wai Ying formula: Cantonese comfort food at teahouse prices. If you love the classics, the new dishes will feel familiar rather than experimental. The lemon chicken is the biggest departure, since the menu has never had a proper sweet-and-sour style chicken plate before. Regulars also swear by the off-menu curry beef siomai, covered in our Wai Ying secret menu guide.
| Dish | Type | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Siomai (4 pcs) | Classic; the shop's most famous order | ₱60 |
| Hakaw (4 pcs) | Classic; whole shrimp in thin skin | ₱65 |
| Roasted Duck Fried Rice | Classic; signature duck on fried rice | ₱150 |
| Beef Mami | Classic; beef noodle soup | ₱200 |
| Lemon Chicken | New 2026; first sweet-sour chicken plate | Ask in store |
| Fishball Mami | New 2026; second noodle soup option | ₱260 |
| Fried Wantons | New 2026 feature; priciest newcomer | ₱280 |
| Buchi | New 2026; first dedicated dessert feature | ₱130 |
