Puto Pao the siopao filling can be either pork or chicken. It mainly depends on what you prefer. The puto’s softness delightfully complements and balances the savory taste of the filling. The muffin-like buns perfectly blend in with the sweetened porkflakes that make up the filling which is locally called Asado. You can add salt egg and cheese at the top or it can be optional.
