Supreme Siu Mai 1
The siu mai can be served in a high quality bamboo steamer or a styrofoam cup but either way, its divine aroma presents no change. Its outer wonton layer has a golden gleam and is generously coated in soy sauce. The savoury pork filling is seen peeking out of the wrapper waiting for you to indulge in its goodness. Hence its simplistic design, endless amounts of time, hard work and love have been put into this chewy snack that rightfully dominates the streets of Hong Kong.
Siu Mai is one of the most popular street foods in Hong Kong and a few people believe it originated in HK but its origin traces back to around 700 years ago, during the Yuan Dynasty. This dish originated in Hohhot, China but throughout the years, it gradually spread to the south, gaining massive popularity in Hong Kong.
