Love Hong Kong comfort food? There’s now another reason to visit Ayala Center Cebu as Dai Pai Dong has officially opened its newest branch at the 4th Level, Kulinarya, conveniently located near the Ayala Cinemas.

Known for serving authentic Hong Kong-inspired dishes, Dai Pai Dong has become a go-to spot for many Cebuanos, especially for one of its biggest specialties—Claypot Rice. Served piping hot in traditional claypots, each order is packed with flavor and that signature crispy rice at the bottom that makes every bite even more satisfying.

Signature Claypot Rice Worth Coming Back For

No visit to Dai Pai Dong is complete without trying their famous claypot rice, and we got to enjoy two of their popular offerings.

The Luroufan Claypot Rice is comfort food at its finest. Tender braised pork is paired with flavorful sauce that seeps into every grain of rice, creating a rich and satisfying meal from the first bite to the last.

We also tried the Pork Spareribs Claypot Rice, another crowd favorite that’s loaded with tender, well-seasoned pork spareribs served over steaming hot rice. The claypot keeps everything warm while creating those delicious crispy bits that claypot rice lovers always look forward to.

Whether it’s your first visit or you’re already a regular, these signature claypot rice dishes are definitely the stars of the menu.

More Hong Kong Comfort Food to Enjoy

Aside from their signature claypots, we also got to try the Mongkok Balls, a hearty platter featuring an assortment of fish balls, tofu, and other Hong Kong-style favorites. It’s a great starter that’s perfect for sharing with family or friends.

Another dish we enjoyed was the Taiwanese Rice Bowl, a simple yet satisfying option for those looking for another comforting rice meal alongside Dai Pai Dong’s signature specialties.
