For Siomai, Harbour City fuses this traditional Chinese dish with a modern twist. Topping the list are its Mushroom Shaomai and Quail’s Egg Shaomai which have been the best-sellers among the Ilonggos. 

The unique flavors of mushroom and quail’s egg perfectly fit Ilonggos’ discriminating palate. Other Siomai choices include the original Shaomai and Bacon Shaomai that one shouldn’t also miss to try. 

Just for a trivia, Harbour City’s Shaomai has been recognized as the Best Siomai in Cebu.
