DIMSUM TREATS Opens Newest Store at Samson Road Caloocan

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.

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.

Congratulations to Dimsum Treats Caloocan! This one is good!

Caloocan City "Kalokohan in the City"

I've spent my college years in Caloocan City since Engineering Majors only start in that campus. I really hate what I'm hearing right now in radio stations and news papers. Its not surprising that Andres Bonifacion would probably go down his monument that fronts the dilapidated Gotesco Grand Central Mall because of the problems surrounding the debate on who owns the commercial complex that stands on the former land of Cecilio Apostol Elementary school.

The lease of the 22,685 square meter lot o June 14, 1983 has been sold on September 19, 2008 after the courts allowed it. But then the City Government never forgot about the taxes the establishment owns that amounts to almost 723 Million in the last 23 years. This is the real property tax that was not settled but both parties are crying foul because apparently the Go family was being asked for money by the incumbent Mayor Echiverri. It's a huge mess and just thinking about how old the mall is makes it doubly furious. Who owns it now? They are all saying its their own but once the City Government already "sherrifed" this property there will be huge fights from stall owners, the Go Family and the forces from the local government. Something big will erupt soon in the north and a lot of people will lose their businesses and jobs. I hope someone takes action soon from the national government.

I have my memories in Caloocan, I just wouldn't like these people to put blood on the floor once the city government takes action.
