Tim Ho Wan keeps Michelin streak
Tim Ho Wan’s Sham Shui Po location secured its 17th consecutive Michelin recognition, earning another Bib Gourmand for high‑quality, affordable dim sum (zawya.com). And Manila’s City of Dreams announced a rare Michelin‑starred six‑hands dining event, “The Dragons’ Ascent,” scheduled for April 11 — a bucket‑list booking for culinary travelers (philstar.com).
A MediaOutReach company release carrying the Tim Ho Wan statement was dated April 1, 2026 and was picked up by multiple outlets reporting the brand’s inclusion in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong & Macau. (crweworld.com) Jollibee Foods Corporation has been increasing its stake in Tim Ho Wan over several years, buying out remaining partners in the Titan fund in August 2021 and moving to full ownership and management under Jollibee Worldwide in 2024. (jollibeegroup.com) Jollibee’s disclosures say Tim Ho Wan operates roughly 80 outlets across about 11 countries and will serve as the company’s flagship in its Chinese-cuisine segment. (abs-cbn.com) The Sham Shui Po origin story remains central to the brand: Tim Ho Wan’s founders Mak Kwai Pui and Leung Fai Keung opened the original tiny 20‑seater in Sham Shui Po (9 Fuk Wing Street), a location still cited in company history pages. (timhowan.com) City of Dreams Manila’s Crystal Dragon has named the three visiting chefs leading the six‑hands collaboration as Crystal Dragon chef de cuisine Chan Choo Kean, Jade Dragon executive chef Kelvin Au Yeung, and Pearl Dragon executive chef Otto Wong. (philstar.com) The event’s six‑course tasting lineup includes signature plates such as steamed Australian lobster with aged Hua Diao, South African dried abalone with wagyu beef cheek puff, and a baked stuffed crab shell with mushroom and black truffle. (crystaldragon.ph) Organisers limited seating to 72 guests for the night and billed the program as a showcase between Melco’s Dragon restaurants, with Jade Dragon holding an elite three‑MICHELIN‑star status in the 2026 guide.
