Wai Ying Secret Menu Prices Philippines 2026
Here is the honest truth up front: Wai Ying does not have an official secret menu. What it has is better, a set of off-the-board favorites and regulars' combos that rarely make the food-blog lists: curry siomai in a rich golden sauce, the ₱280 fried wantons built for sharing, the hot salad roll at ₱75, and ordering hacks the Binondo lunch crowd has refined over years. This guide rounds up the real insider picks and what they cost.
Does Wai Ying have a secret menu?
No, and anyone telling you otherwise is overselling it. Wai Ying has never published a secret menu. What exists instead is an informal layer of dishes and combos that regulars order by name even when they are not on the printed card: curry siomai, off-board specials the staff mention, and combinations that just work. Think of this as the regulars' menu rather than a secret one.
The good news: the staff at the Binondo main branch know these orders by heart. You do not need a code word. Just ask.
What are the Wai Ying off-menu favorites?
These are the dishes that rarely headline the food blogs but have die-hard followings among people who eat at Wai Ying weekly. Most of them sit on the quieter corners of the card or get ordered by description.

Curry siomai: the hidden gem
This is the closest thing Wai Ying has to a legend. Fried dumplings coated in a rich curry sauce, the kind of dish that makes regulars nod at each other. It barely appears on the printed card, which is exactly why it belongs on this list. Order it by name at the Binondo main branch and the staff will know what you want.
What ordering hacks do Wai Ying regulars use?
The real Wai Ying secret menu is not a list of dishes, it is a list of moves. These are the ordering habits the Binondo lunch crowd has settled on over the years:
- Ask for the curry sauce on the side: regulars do this with the fried items, so the crunch survives the trip to the table.
- Pair cheung fan with roasted duck rice: the silky shrimp rice rolls plus the ₱150 roasted duck fried rice is the combination order the food-trippers swear by.
- Hit the take-out counter: the Binondo take-out line (7am-5pm daily) moves faster than the dine-in floor at peak lunch, and dim sum reheats well.
- Order fried wantons for the table: at ₱280 it is priced to share, so do not order it solo. Four people splitting it turns it into a ₱70 side each.
- Finish with buchi: the ₱130 sesame balls are the move when everyone is almost full but nobody wants to leave.
- Milk tea with jelly, not plain: the ₱60 jelly version is the veteran order over the standard milk tea.
Ask for it the regular way
The staff see thousands of orders a week, so ordering with confidence matters. Name the dish, name the quantity, and if you want something off the board, describe it plainly. "Curry siomai, one order" works better than a long explanation. And if they are out of something, they will usually point you at the closest alternative without being asked.
What do the secret menu items cost?
Insider picks are not premium picks. Almost everything on the regulars' list costs the same as the standard menu: ₱55 to ₱80 for dim sum, with the fried wantons at ₱280 as the only real splurge. Here is the cheat sheet to screenshot before you go.
| Item | Insider Note | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Fried Wantons | Share it, do not solo it | ₱280 |
| Buchi | The finishing move | ₱130 |
| Chicken Feet | Converts skeptics | ₱80 |
| Hot Salad Roll | The sleeper pick | ₱75 |
| Japanese Siomai | House special | ₱60-80 |
| Milk Tea with Jelly | The veteran drink order | ₱60 |
| Curry Siomai | The legend, priced in store | Ask in store |
