EN: siopao (steamed bun)
The fluffy, white, steamed bun that's like a warm hug for your stomach. You have to choose your destiny: Asado (sweet pork) or Bola-bola (pork meatball, sometimes with egg). Eating one is a gamble – will you get a mouthful of delicious filling or just a whole lot of bread? It's the perfect on-the-go snack for a busy commuter.
From Hokkien 'sio-pau' (燒包), meaning 'hot bun'.
A staple in Filipino-Chinese cuisine and widely popular as a snack. 'Asado' (sweet-style filling) and 'Bola-bola' (meatball filling) are the two most common variants.
