[edit] separate article

Siopao should be separate from Mantou for cultural, etc. reasons.--Guest818 16:27, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Siopao is not a mantou: it is what is known in Chinese as a baozi. Bathrobe 01:20, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What are they made of?

So now we know about the filling, what's the bun itself made of, please? Maikel 10:33, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Steamed rice flour -- correct? Maikel 19:19, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bun or dumpling?

Quote: in English it is simply known as steamed buns ... I would describe them as filled dumplings, actually. Maikel 19:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
