One of our favorite merienda, Siopao. But this one is not just your ordinary Siopao. I (Hippo) bought this from a Chinese friend who always go to Chinatown in Binondo. This huge piece of bun costs Php 60.00, but it's worth the price. Three to Four people can share this jumbo siopao, it's like a whopper of Siopaos. It weighs approximately 250-350gms, I think...hehehe...and it is around 6 inches in diameter, I think (again)...hehehe...
This Siopao has an extraordinary flavor and filling, not just your plain asado or bola-bola. It is filled with shrimps, mushrooms, chicken, hard boiled egg, chinese chorizo, and sausage, and it comes with oyster sauce, which gives more appetizing flavor. It is best with coffee or hot choco. Yum! :)
