Bicol's Best Toasted Siopao now available in Pasig City

Bicol's Best Toasted Siopao

Here's great news to many Bicolanos in Pasig City and neighboring cities in Metro Manila. 3N Bakery opened its second branch in Pasig City last July 8, 2013 right at the busy Pasig Rotonda area. Their specialty is no other than the famous Bicolano delicacy, the toasted siopao.

Freshly Baked Toasted Siopao

Siopao is traditionally steamed while some restaurants fry the left-over steamed siopaos and sell them as fried siopao. Toasted siopao, on the other hand, is neither steamed nor fried, but are baked. The dough is made of flour which is then flattened and formed into round pockets filled ground pork and some seasonings. They are then baked for about 15 minutes. The texture of the bread is similar to pan de monay which makes them really filling.

Toasted Siopao

With the increased tourism activity in the Bicol Region, toasted siopao has also become known to many Filipinos in Metro Manila. Food trips in Bicol are never complete without sampling this specialty. The ever growing popularity of this all-time favorite Bicolano comfort food made the Libmanan, Camarines Sur-based 3N Bakery decide to bring this delicacy to Metro Manila.

Toasted Siopao sells for P8.00 each

Each toasted siopao sells for P8.00. The taste is really authentic since the ingredients are from the original 3N Bakery branch in Libmanan, Camarines Sur. According to Mr. Ruben Magsalin, owner of the Pasig Rotonda branch, the bakery easily caught the attention of the Bicolanos living in Pasig who have been longing for the taste of their favorite toasted siopao. Many are thankful that there is now a bakery in Pasig that sells toasted siopao, he added.
