Dinagyang Siopao has been a beloved local institution for years. Nestled in the heart of Iloilo City, this humble eatery serves mouthwatering siopao. It’s like stepping back in time with its retro vibes and authentic charm. The signage, tables, and even the condiment bottles are straight out of a vintage diner.
Dinagyang Siopao menu
The siopao, a fluffy steamed bun filled with savory ingredients, is a Filipino comfort food. At Dinagyang Siopao, the siopao is elevated to an art form wherein each bite is a symphony of flavors, with the soft bun perfectly complementing the flavorful filling.
You can choose from classic pork asado, their best-selling chicken siopao, or their special siopao which is a combination of chicken and pork chorizo.
Beyond the delicious siopao, Dinagyang Siopao also offers batchoy. They also serve desserts like leche flan and Brazos de Mercedes..
What I had
I had their steaming bowl of batchoy (P50), their fluffy pork siopao (P40), and a bottle of Mountain Dew.
