I just recently got home from the Philippines and really miss the food there. I know how to cook some of it though, so im doing ok. Also I eat at Maymars alot and get tons of free food(perks of being a whiteboy that speaks tagalog). But the one thing I cant find which I love is SIOPAO! I would always hit up the SIOPAO CENTER almost everyday in Bicol and get me some good toasted siopao(not a big fan of the steamed) for 5pesos each. Anyone know where I can get this stuff here? Thanks for the help.

 

there's Mary's Restaurant here in Va Beach (corner of Princess Anne and Lynnhaven). They sell them by the bag. They don't stock pile them, but you can get them. Also try the local oriental stores. Sio Pao is not just a filipino thing, chinese make them (perhaps other asian countries?).

 

Find an auntie that can cook it?

 

lol, wala akong filipina auntie, pero Im working on it!

 

susan's kitchen on diamond springs they got em

 

Shoulda picked up one whilst you were there.

 

Im actually talking to a girl I meet while I was there. You never know how things might end up, I could find myself with more pancit and adobo than I can handle.

 

yep susans kitchen on diamond springs has em
