The secret of whiter siopao | tips to have white siopao | siopao recipe

Siopao is traditionally Chinese bun and literally means hot bun.
It is a popular snack sold mostly by bakeries and vendors and in many Chinese restaurants and eateries in the Philippines. There are different varieties based on the filling: pork asado or bola-bola (a combination of pork, chicken, beef, shrimp or salted duck egg). There is also a baked variety.
An old urban legend or canard alleges that siopao is made from cat meat, due to the relative cheapness of siopao and anti-Chinese prejudice.
