Dimsum Treats has been everywhere, and there's a new branch that just opened at the front of University of the East Caloocan Campus, and STI along Samson Road, Caloocan City. I'm no stranger in this area because I've spent quite a number of years finishing my engineering degree. Like any student, I try to make sure my allowance would last a week because if I spend too much, I'll be hungry over the weekend by force LOL. Students here know a deal when they see one, and I'm glad I got to see this new Dimsm Treats branch open so they could have choices other than the usual carinderia fare (not that there's anything wrong with it.).
This place offers dimsum favorites but at a fraction of chinese restaurant cost. They have Special Siomai, Meaty Mushroom Siomai (a bit earthy), Chinese Chicken Siomai (lighter than pork), Fried Sharksfin Dumpling (if you prefer the crunchy exterior), Pork and Quail Egg Siomai (which I ate loads of), Japanese Siomai (which was ordered by a lot of people while I was there), and the best seller Premium Pork and Shrimp Siomai. They packaged these with rice too, even with Yang Chow Rice versions if you love bits of veggies and chorizo on your plate. They also have a really good Pork Chop which I would liken to some of those famous ones in Chinatown because they taste like it.
Premium Pork and Shrimp Siomai
Fried Sharksfin Dumpling
Pork Chop Meal which they'd gladly slice up for you!
Now if you live a bit far from Samson Road and want a dimsum fix, they have an official website where you can order and save a lot rather than ordering via food apps. Just head on to dimsumtreats.com and get your personal favorites. They have those that are already cooked, even have them in frozen packs so you can take it elsewhere and just heat it up when you get there.
It didn't last a few minutes when I placed it on the dinner table because as attested by family at home, these variety of Siomai just tasted fresh, just like it was taken out of the steamer.
So if you're in the area, go have your Dimsum Treats in this branch at Ma. Cristina Building's ground floor. They have a place to dine in and can fit a few people. As for me, I'll be back there for the Mushroom Siomai and Porkchop soon.
You probably all know that I live and bleed RED. I'm a warrior by birth and by right. My folks graduated in UE and so did I. Dad was a former Red Warrior and Red Shirt, Mom taught classes when high school was still around that era. I was blessed to have the chance to be one of the members of the Red Tribe. It's a community where Alumni, Students and Faculty from all over the world meet. I realize that we might not have the actual number to overwhelm other UAAP counterparts, but we have something good going on. We have HEART, that WARRIOR SPIRIT carries us on... even on days when everybody else was losing hope we still stuck it out with the Red Warriors. You can count on that!
Proud as we are; we try our best to seek and help those lost souls who often just sits quietly in the bylines and couldn't root for our varsity teams because they felt alone, felt they were too old and out of place among the sea of students who frequent the stands. We never knew we could be this big and still remain intimate. Our main goal is to have the whole crowd be called the Red Tribe. I'm glad the pioneers still have the time and spunk to continue what we are doing until now. It's one of the proudest things I felt as a Warrior, I felt more of that when I went to the University of the East PEP Rally in the Recto Campus.
The University of the East Fencing team did not just bring prestige to our school, but the entire country! The Southeast Asian Games was a cinch for them!
It was nice to see we have a Juniors Volleyball Team, we need to start training these athletes early in order to get more exposure in these games.
I haven't been seeing their games because of lack of information on their schedules + my schedule sucks. I'm sure these guys would give the other schools one heck of a fight like any Red Warrior team would do. Good luck on your games!
Look at the crowd just before the things started, this is 9AM and it was pretty early for me. I came from graveyard work but went from Eastwood to Recto (and stay awake!) just to get to this PEP Rally. I got to see the other teams there as well.
Just look at these kids. They are called the UE KID WARRIORS. They will surely get to be better basketball players when they grow up! If we start this early I'm sure the elusive Championship would not be far behind!
Fresh from their trip they gave us a treat! The UE CHORALE has proven to be one of the best in the world by winning 2 Gold Medals in the recently concluded 2011 Harmonie Festival, Germany. We also have their Conductor and Choir Master Ms. Anna Tabita Abeleda-Piquero to thank for that! Congratulations guys and gals!
Of course! How can we forget THE UE RED WARRIORS MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM! I'm impressed with the lineup even though other schools would just shrug us off thinking they can win just because of their imports LOL! We are staying ALL FILIPINO this season and not to discount VERY GOODLOOKING! Our team will be one hell of a great team to beat when the games commence. I am so proud that former WARRIOR and Professional Defense Minister Jerry Codiñera will lead the whole team and the tribe to get that Championship we all wish for!
Just with the actual formation of the team, I congratulate everyone who is behind this! The fight maybe tough but I'm sure we'll win this no matter what!
Here are some of the Warriors you need to take note of!
Our Team Captain Paul Christian C. Zamar will use his experience and skills to beat tough opponents this season! (Asahan ka ng Red Tribe ah! Hehehehe!) He got lots of SHREIKS from the female students... I'm not surprised though! Ha-ha!
This guy is Shej Roi D. Sumang. He's THE GUY to watch out for. His game is "SUPERIOR" and we may be owing a lot of our wins on his shoulders. He's quiet but he'll explode in the court when you least expect it. He was from Letran in high school. I'm rooting for him this season. We only have 2 tall guys and we'll work them like a horse so these key players will have to spend more time making points and equalizing the floor come game time. He's one tough cookie! Adrian Santos needs to step up as always too.
This guy looks like our glamor boy for this season (remember Xian Lim??). I know, the other schools must have run out of looks by now LOL! He's Nikko Montelibano, a very promising 6ft2 shotblocking and rebounding master that we recruited from RTU. He's one heck of a player! Yes, I heard screams from the girls too!
Like an angel coming down from heaven, his aura was really beaming. Everyone was a little or more starstruck at the sight of our Coach Jerry Codiñera. It's my first time to see him in the flesh! So did a lot of other people from UE. We have a lot of expectations but just do your best Coach! Bring out that Warrior Heart in each of our games!
Thank you to University of the East Recto people for letting me in even if I'm an alumni from UE Caloocan. Hope I won't have hitches next time! Thank you also to Team Manager Executive Director Jesus T. Tanchanco Sr. who gave a small talk with the UE RED TRIBE! Please do expect us in games wherever, whenever!
Good luck to the UE RED WARRIORS! Do your best okay?!
I'm proud to be a Warrior! and I'd die like one! =)
I just wish the guys from the Seniors Basketball team of UE Good luck on the game against the Ateneo Blue Eagles. I know this will be a tall order but I think there is nothing impossible as long as we put our mind into it.
The team has beaten FEU in a do or die match last week. That was also something big because they were seeded to win the championship. But then we have beaten them in that twice to beat condition of theirs. Now is the time to come together and support this underdog from Recto/Caloocan and Sta.Mesa =)
Actually even if they do not win this championship, for me they are already winners because they have definitely played with heart. I am also proud of them because even folks from other schools are rooting for UE. They know how hard it was for us to play these past few great games.
The Red Tribe also has been doing a great job supporting UE in it's games. Some of them even are not gonna get enough sleep because of preparations and props for the crowd tomorrow. I wanted to help but I had work obviously. Thanks for the great job too Red Tribe!
I believe...
