Siopao (Pork Buns)

It was New Year's Day and Lani ordered siopao (pork buns) for lunch, also called char siu bao by the Chinese or manapua by the Hawaiians. They can be baked (like these) or steamed. I like both. We bought different kinds--barbequed pork, chicken, curry chicken, and curry beef.

We went to ABC Bakery in Sacramento. I haven't been there for over 15 years and was happy to see they were in the same location. When we were dating, I would pick some up for Kirk on my way down to Fresno.

Kirk saw the pink bakery boxes and peeked inside.

Can I have one?


Now THAT'S a Happy Face!
