Siomai sa Tisa

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

CUSTOMERS from all walks of life crowd over a stall for a few hanging rice, a bottle of soft drink, a saucer of chili sauce and a dish that most Cebuanos find satisfying, the “Original Siomai sa Tisa.”
“Ubay-ubay sad gani ang mopalit diri nga de-sakyanan” said business owner Jeffrey Quillosa (Several well-to-do customers come here).

The Chinese dish, which is also drawing customers in Talamban, P. del Rosario, Fuente Osmeña and even in the cities of Mandaue and Talisay, started with Quillosa of Barangay Tisa, Cebu City.
When the business picked up in 2001, he left his job as a machine operator in a local company.

But he said he only has one other branch near the Tabunok overpass which he just started last February.

To distinguish his business from the others, he is using a logo of an image of a Chinese cook on the upper left side of his stall’s signboard.
