SIOPAO

This is one of the all time favorites in my family get together. Parang bula na naglalaho na lang yan after maluto, mag nagtatago ng siopao sa bag, saplastic tapos ang pinaka magandang dahilan e "mahilig sa siopao ang amo ko", which is not true of course. Gusto lang mag uwi ng "basura". You can heat siopao on the microwave the next day.
