Siopao (traditional Chinese: 燒包; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: sio-pau) is a Hokkien term for baozi, literally meaning 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 use pork, chicken, beef, shrimp or salted duck eggs. There is also a baked variety.
