How to win in the siopao business:
Make sure your products are always fresh. Customers want their siopao fresh and hot when served, says Eymard Carandang of Siopao Express. "They can tell the difference, and they'll come back if your siopao is good."
Produce only the siopao that you can sell in a day. Siopao is perishable, so it's a good idea to make only what you can sell. "We produce and deliver siopao to our outlets every day to ensure they're always fresh," says Ngan Tian of Lots A Pizza. "If the siopao in the steamer is not sold at the end of the day, you must throw it away," says Carandang.
Know what your market wants. When Pacita Cheng of Pao Express gave away peanut, mongo, and ube siopao as birthday giveaways, those who received them pushed her to introduce the sweet varieties in the market. Ngan Tian came up with chicken asado siopao for her Muslim customers. "It's important to come up with products that will suit the market," she says.
Be consistent. Be careful with your mixing and preparations to produce consistently clean, nutritious , and delicious siopao, says Ngan Tian.
Be careful with blending. "The ingredients that you put into your siopao should blend very well with the dough," Ngan Tian says. "If not, your siopao will spoil easily."
Handle your products with care. "Steam your siopao carefully so the dough does not get too soggy or too dry," says Carandang. "You must check on them every time."
