Every Saturday late afternoon 'til late night, my brother would go to Lagro (Quezon City) to attend the SFC-CLP of their chapter. I received a call from him the other Saturday, just to have a quick chat, and I asked him to buy me one jumbo pao from Kowloon House kiosk, also in Lagro. It's open 24 hours, so brother didn't have any reason not to buy me one.
I have always loved Kowloon House's siopao. Normally, I would just buy their regular sized siopao (P55 for 2 pieces), but when I read an article on the Top 10 Best Tasting Siopao in the Metro and Kowloon House's jumbo pao made the list, I got a little interested in tasting it. Come to think of it, I still haven't tasted it, until now.
Size wise, it was really that big - slightly bigger than the 7-11 siopao, but it was really heavy! When I steamed this one (I ate my share the next day, of course), I couldn't pick it up using the tongs! Hahahaha... In eating this, I really had to use a knife, because if I just hold it, it would be a bit too thick to handle.
I am used to eating the asado flavor, so me eating the bola bola flavor was a great change. What made me like it more was that the chorizo slices were just so big, too! I love, love it! The downside is that, I had a difficult time eating the whole siopao! I guess I will just have to stick to the regular ones. :)
