How To Make Chinese Steamed Chocolate Bun

It’s the 167th day of quarantine period in our region and during my 24-hour stay in Manila, I got the chance to try different flavors of steamed mantou from House of Mantou. Until now, my palate is searching for its crunchy exterior and soft interior. 

Mantou is a soft type of steamed bun that originated in China. To describe it specifically, it’s like siopao or bao but without the meat or fillings. When I eat siopao, I enjoy eating the bread part more than the meat part. So this steamed bun is an instant hit for me. 

Sadly, I’m now in Mindoro so I can’t reach the restaurant anymore. The best thing I can do is to recreate mantou at home. My favorite in House of Mantou is the cocoa flavor so I made chocolate-flavored steamed buns for my recipe. Please don’t expect too much from my creation though.
