Tim Ho Wan — World’s Most Affordable Michelin Star & Menu Guide

Tim Ho Wan was founded in 2009 by Mak Kwai Pui, a former Four Seasons Hotel chef, in a tiny 20-seat shop in Mong Kok, Hong Kong. It received a Michelin star in the same year it opened — the cheapest Michelin-starred meal in the world at the time (HK$50–100 per person). The Four Heavenly Kings are Tim Ho Wan’s four signature items that appear on every menu worldwide: Baked Buns with BBQ Pork (the most famous), Beancurd Skin Roll with Pork and Shrimp, Pan Fried Radish Cake, and Steamed Egg Cake. Baked BBQ Pork Bun — unlike standard steamed char siu bao, Tim Ho Wan’s version is baked with a sugary, slightly crumbly crust that shatters on first bite before revealing the sweet-savory char siu filling inside. Vermicelli Roll (Cheung Fun) — rice noodle sheets (made from rice flour and water poured on a flat surface and steamed until set) rolled around fillings; the freshly made rice sheet should be silky, thin, and slightly translucent. Prawn Dumpling (Hakaw) — translucent wheat starch wrapper around whole shrimp; the wrapper must be thin enough to reveal the pink shrimp color. Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun — the flowing salted egg yolk custard inside is a Cantonese dim sum innovation from the 2000s where salted duck egg yolk is mixed into a flowing custard that remains liquid at serving temperature.

⭐ Our Favorite Items at Tim Ho Wan Menu

Baked Buns with BBQ Pork
₱ 235.00
The most famous item at Tim Ho Wan and the one that earned the restaurant its Michelin star recognition — Tim Ho Wan’s Baked BBQ Pork Bun (char siu bao) is fundamentally different from the standard steamed version found everywhere else. The bun is baked with a thin sugar-coated crust that shatters on first bite, creating a dramatic textural contrast before the soft, sweet-savory char siu filling inside. The crust is made from a mixture of sugar, butter, and milk powder applied before baking — it puffs and crackles in the oven, forming a crumbly top layer unique to Tim Ho Wan’s preparation. The char siu filling (Hong Kong-style BBQ pork with oyster sauce, soy, and honey) is sweeter and more sauce-forward than Cantonese mainland versions. First item on every list of must-order dim sum in the world.
Prawn Dumpling (Hakaw)
₱ 235.00
The benchmark dim sum — Hakaw (蝦餃, hā gǎau) is the item by which every Cantonese restaurant is professionally judged. The wrapper is made from wheat starch (not flour — wheat starch is flour with the gluten removed), which produces a completely translucent, silky, slightly chewy skin that regular flour cannot achieve. The pink shrimp filling must be visible through the wrapper. The pleating of the wrapper (minimum 7 folds in traditional Cantonese dim sum culture, with master chefs achieving 9–12 folds) indicates the chef’s skill level — more folds means more even thickness distribution and a more elegant final shape. Tim Ho Wan’s Prawn Dumplings consistently hold the translucency and pleat quality expected of a Michelin-starred restaurant at a price point that makes them one of the best value luxury dim sum items available in the Philippines.
Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun
₱ 207.00 (Steamed or Fried)
The most dramatic dim sum at Tim Ho Wan — the Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun contains a flowing, molten salted duck egg yolk custard that pours out when the bun is bitten or cut. The flowing custard is a technical achievement: salted duck egg yolk (naturally richer and more intensely flavored than chicken egg yolk due to the curing process in brine) is blended into a custard mixture that is thick enough to form during steaming but flows at serving temperature because the sugar content lowers the setting temperature of the custard. Available steamed (soft, pillowy exterior) or fried (crispy golden exterior) — both versions deliver the same flowing salted egg interior. The fried version adds a hot-oil caramelization to the exterior that contrasts even more dramatically with the cold-flowing custard inside.
Glutinous Rice with Lotus Leaf
₱ 290.00
The most aromatic dim sum at Tim Ho Wan — Lo Mai Gai (糯米雞) is glutinous rice stuffed with Chinese sausage (lap cheong), chicken, dried mushrooms, and salted egg yolk, wrapped in a dried lotus leaf and steamed. The lotus leaf is not eaten — it is the cooking vessel and aromatic wrapper: during steaming, the dried lotus leaf releases its characteristic earthy, slightly floral, grassy fragrance which permeates the glutinous rice from the outside in. The glutinous rice (waxy rice with higher amylopectin starch content than regular rice) becomes sticky and clumping during steaming, holding the filling ingredients together. Opening the lotus leaf parcel at the table releases the trapped steam and aroma simultaneously — one of the most sensory dim sum serving moments. The largest and most filling single dim sum item at Tim Ho Wan.
HK Milk Tea
₱ 149.00
The most authentic Hong Kong café drink at Tim Ho Wan — Hong Kong Milk Tea (港式奶茶) is made by brewing strong Ceylon black tea through a cloth filter (called a “silk stocking” — the sock-like filter gives it its alternative name “pantyhose milk tea”), then mixing with evaporated milk rather than fresh milk or cream. The cloth filter produces a finer-textured, silkier tea than paper filter or steeping methods — the slow seep through cloth filters out more tannins and creates a smoother, less astringent brew. Evaporated milk (not condensed — evaporated has no added sugar) adds a slightly caramelized dairy richness from the concentration process without sweetening the tea. HK Milk Tea is the standard accompaniment to dim sum in Hong Kong café culture — it is the most culturally appropriate drink order at Tim Ho Wan.
Mango Pomelo Sago
₱ 186.00
The most refreshing dessert at Tim Ho Wan — Mango Pomelo Sago (楊枝甘露, yáng zhī gān lù = “sweet dew of the willow branch”) is a Hong Kong dessert soup invented at the Hui Lau Shan dessert chain in 1984: fresh mango puree, sago pearls (tapioca), coconut milk, and pomelo segments in a cold, slightly sweet liquid. Pomelo (大柚子) is the largest citrus fruit — the ancestor of modern grapefruit, less bitter, with a dry, slightly pithy segment texture that contrasts with the smooth mango puree. The sago pearls add chewiness. The combination of mango (sweet, tropical), pomelo (slightly bitter, dry texture), coconut milk (creamy, rich), and sago (chewy) creates four distinct sensory elements in a single cold dessert bowl. At ₱186, the best value and most complete Hong Kong dessert experience at Tim Ho Wan Philippines.

No — Tim Ho Wan Philippines is not Halal Certified. The menu includes pork items (Baked BBQ Pork Buns, Beancurd Skin Roll with Pork, Spareribs Rice, Pork Dumpling, Pork Rib with Black Bean Sauce, Pork Chop Fried Rice) throughout all sections. Muslim diners are advised accordingly.

About Tim Ho Wan Philippines

Tim Ho Wan (添好運, “adding good luck”) was founded in 2009 by Mak Kwai Pui, a former executive dim sum chef at the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, in a tiny 20-seat shopfront in Mong Kok — one of Hong Kong’s most densely populated districts. Mak’s vision was to bring hotel-quality dim sum to accessible prices. The restaurant received its first Michelin star in the same year it opened, making global news as the world’s cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant. At the time, a full dim sum meal at Tim Ho Wan cost HK$50–100 (approximately ₱330–₱660 today).

The Four Heavenly Kings — Baked Buns with BBQ Pork, Beancurd Skin Roll with Pork and Shrimp, Pan Fried Radish Cake, and Steamed Egg Cake — are the four items that appear on every Tim Ho Wan menu worldwide and are considered the four items that most define the brand. The Baked BBQ Pork Bun in particular became one of the most discussed dim sum items globally — its baked sugar-crusted shell over char siu filling is a Tim Ho Wan-specific preparation not found at other dim sum restaurants.

Tim Ho Wan Philippines brings the full Hong Kong dim sum experience to Metro Manila — from the signature Four Heavenly Kings and Prawn Dumplings to Salted Egg Yolk Custard Buns, Vermicelli Rolls, and Chef’s Baskets for group sharing. The Chef’s Basket format (A at ₱2,875, B at ₱4,992, C at ₱5,445) is designed for banquet-style group dining — pre-selected combinations of Tim Ho Wan’s best items for tables of 4–8.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
The Four Heavenly Kings are Tim Ho Wan’s four signature must-order items that appear on every menu worldwide: Baked Buns with BBQ Pork (₱235) — the most famous, with a shattering sugar crust over char siu filling. Beancurd Skin Roll with Pork and Shrimp (₱242) — pork and shrimp wrapped in tofu skin. Pan Fried Radish Cake (₱214) — turnip cake pan-fried until golden. Steamed Egg Cake (₱125) — a light, spongy Cantonese steamed cake. All four must be ordered on every Tim Ho Wan visit — they represent the core of the brand’s Michelin-recognized identity.
Yes — Tim Ho Wan’s original Hong Kong location received a Michelin star in 2009, the same year it opened, making it globally famous as the world’s cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant. Founded by Mak Kwai Pui (former Four Seasons Hotel chef) in a 20-seat Mong Kok shopfront, it proved that Michelin-quality dim sum was possible at accessible prices. The Philippines franchise brings this Michelin pedigree to Metro Manila — the same recipes and standards from the original Hong Kong kitchen.
Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun (₱207, Steamed or Fried) is a bun containing flowing molten salted duck egg yolk custard that pours out when bitten. The flowing custard uses salted duck egg yolk (richer than chicken egg, cured in brine) in a custard mixture calibrated to remain liquid at serving temperature. Steamed version = soft pillowy exterior. Fried version = crispy golden shell with the same flowing custard inside. Available in both formats at the same price — order the fried version for the hot-cold textural contrast between the crispy shell and flowing cold custard.
Chef’s Baskets are pre-selected combination sets for group dining: Basket A (₱2,875) — entry-level group set, good for 3–4 people. Basket B (₱4,992) — mid-level set for 4–6. Basket C (₱5,445) — most complete set for 5–8. Each basket is curated by Tim Ho Wan’s chefs to include a balanced selection of steamed, baked, fried, and rice items — the most convenient way to experience the full menu range without ordering individually. Best format for first-time group visits or celebration dinners.
HK Milk Tea (₱149) is Hong Kong-style milk tea: strong Ceylon black tea brewed through a cloth filter (“silk stocking” filter) for a silkier, less astringent result than paper-filtered tea, then mixed with evaporated milk (no added sugar — richer and slightly caramelized from the concentration process). The most culturally appropriate drink pairing with dim sum at Tim Ho Wan. Different from bubble tea, Thai tea, or Western milk tea — it is a specific Hong Kong café tradition with a 70+ year history.
