The first branch is in the new wing of SM Megamall!  The people lining up here are non stop!!  It’s a good thing I was lucky to get to have the pork bbq buns!!  So near yet so far! Waiting for a Makati branch 🙂

Congratulations Rikki Dee, the lucky one who got the franchise for the Philippines.  Aside from luck, Tim Ho Wan believed in him out of so many Filipinos that applied for the franchise.  They got the most inquiries for franchise from the Philippines according to Robert Chua.

6 Hong Kong Chefs have been here training and helping in the opening of the first branch.  They opened May 20 at the ground level of Mega Fashion Hall

Taking a peek at the baking of the pork bbq buns 🙂  I overheard Ricky Dee telling someone that they make 3,000 pieces of buns a day.  That is the capacity for now and it is not even enough to meet the demand of the customers.  They do not even allow take out for now!
