Siopao (simplified Chinese: 烧包; traditional Chinese: ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: sio-pau), literally meaning "hot bun", is the Philippine version of the Cantonese steamed bun called cha siu bao.[1]

It is a popular snack sold mostly in Chinese restaurants or by sidewalk vendors in the Philippines. There are different varieties based on the filling: asado or bola-bola (a combination of pork, chicken, beef, shrimp or salted duck egg). There is also a baked variety.[2]

There is an urban legend about the snack alleging that cat meat is used in the production of siopao. According to historians, this story could have came from a certain sentiment towards the Chinese Filipino community or it was theorized that it could have been a smear campaign by competitors or illegitimate children from a Chinese family which runs a siopao business.[3]

There is a similar derivative in Thai cuisine called salapao (Thai: ซาลาเปา). Salapao are sometimes made with a sweet filling for a dessert.[4] It is also a favorite in Hawaii where it is called manapua.
