There is an urban legend that says cat meat was allegedly used in the production of Siopao.

Historians said that the story could have been a smear campaign or some issued against the Chinese Filipino community.

In a previous article, a netizen shared a photo of the siopao he purchased a famous fast food. He found a disgusting worm inside the snack.

Meanwhile, a new version of Siopao went viral on social media. The post flooded with mixed reactions from the online people.
