IT weighs about a kilo and said to feed four people but when I asked the lady at the counter how many people have tried to finish it ALONE, she casually said: "Madalas mga tricycle driver po [Often, tricycle drivers can finish it]."
So with tinged (and later on, foolish) pride, I decided to give it a go. That huge chunk of white doesn't look so imposing from the outside, even though by my estimate it is thrice the size of the biggest you can find at 7-11.
My strategy was to cut it in quarters, confident I can eat what four people can since it was late afternoon when we arrived at PVL Food Haus and I haven't had lunch yet.
I chose the bola-bola variety -- no thanks to my colleague Erwin Oliva who told me it tastes better. See the picture above? Imagine a large chunk of meat plus boiled egg inside it.
I threw in the towel after finishing about three-quarters of it. Until now, my wounded pride still tells me I should have chosen the Asado, half-sure the softer filling would've been less cruel to ingest in my mouth.
Don't ask me if it tastes GOOD -- I would say that it isn't that outstanding. Or that I'd rather eat Hen-Lin's siopao because it tastes better.
Or better yet, I was too busy thinking how to finish this one huge siopao it didn't matter much if I actually like it. (Photo courtesy of INQUIRER.net multimedia reporter Marjorie Gorospe)

That's one HUGE siopao! I will also have trouble finishing it all by myself.
Where is PVL FoodHaus? How much is one siopao? Thanks!
I would love to try this kung merong fish and/or vegetable variety :)
Hindi naubos??? Baka naman uminom ka ng Softdrink, ang dough ng siopao nag-e-expand pag sinabayan mo ng carbonated drinks. Subukan mu ulit. Konting tubig lang.
He, he, he...

The side of the siopao is CRAZY! But it still looks yummy. I can almost smell the aroma from the video of Rolex Watches. Go Siopao!
Wow great, I am happy to find it, Thanks for sharing it here. So you are thinking to go for gay marriage. :)

Thanks for making such a cool project. I've been checking the site for the Windows version, but I never left a comment about it. I know you are working hard and doing it for free so you shouldn't feel rushed or anything.

That looks at least... interesting. How many calories do you think a "treat" like that really has ? Any plans on making a video teaching people how to bake one ?
