Pork Asado Siopao

Siopao everyone? I remember when I was in the Philippines, my mom always buy siopao from Goldilocks or Persimmon. Siopao is one of the favorite snacks in the family. I like the combination of chicken and egg or pork and chicken. How about you. One thing about the siopao here in the US is frozen and there is no egg on it...hehehhe...that is what I don't like.

Siopao Everyone?!

Have you ever heard of "Siopao"? I am sure my fellow kababayan knows what I am talking about. I have been wanting to eat this long time ago. So when we went to the Filipino store I bought some of these. So for those of you who don't know about what siopao is, here's the info.

Siopao is the Filipino version of the Chinese baozi (steamed buns). It is also called salapao in Thailand.

It is a popular food item in the >Philippines. It does not require utensils to eat and can be consumed on-the-go. Like baozi, there are several siopao stuffing varieties which could be either Asado or Bola-bola that may be using pork, chicken, beef, shrimp, eggs, and possibly chopped scallions and water chestnuts as well.

Outside of the Philippines, many Filipino restaurants offer variants of siopao with local ingredients ranging from Spam and canned pineapple in Hawaii, to haute cuisine concoctions involving foie gras and truffles.
