Chinese Fastfood Bento
China in a box! Or rather, in a bento. I think this is the closest thing to Chinese fastfood, no? It was surprisingly pretty fast to put together too, since I just reheated the components in the microwave.
Contents:
• Asado Siopao. A leftover Asado Siopao from Northpark. Asado is a sweet and salty pork dish that’s popular as a filling for these steamed buns. Reheated for a minute in the mini-microwave steamer. The face is made of nori cut-outs.
• Hakao. Shrimp dumplings, steamed from a bag of frozen ones.
• Spicy jellyfish. So Chinese cold-cut platter, no?
• Century eggs. I really love century eggs. Heehee.
• A squeeze bottle of soy-lemon (inside box) & another of siopao sauce (outside box).

What a happy meal!!! Ang cute ng siopao!
I just hope that Siopao doesn’t have any Cardboard in it XD
@toni
too bad in the end, I was the only happy one since I doubt the siopao was happy with its plight 
heehee. thanks
@Drew
I just heard bits and pieces of the news feature from the TV noise behind me.
I heard a follow-up newsclip about the cardboard siopao. It appears that the feature was trumped up by the journalist, he set-up the newsbit himself. Too bad I didn’t catch the news report, I was busy playing a PC game
I saw that news report… it was probably a cover-up by Chinese authorities. I still believe those cardboard siopaos exist! It’s just that the Chinese Gov’t doesn’t want the others to know.
I love century eggs too! Especially with some pickled ginger… Hmmm
Is that Jamie’s spicy jellyfish? I miss that!
the jellyfish is sooooo good because of this i think I will eat some for lunch today too
@Chris
Yes it is. I still have some at home, you want?
@Harlee
I’ve never tried century eggs with pickled ginger but it sounds interesting. I usually eat it with spring onions.
