Food Cart Of The Month: November is for Pinoy Pao!

My Pao is one of the first food carts that Pinoy Pao Express, Inc. has created back in 1996. In 2000 in was opened for franchise and in the year 2002 the name was changed from My Pao to Pinoy Pao.

                Pinoy Pao is now one of the best sellers of PPEI. Though the name “Pao” is sometimes misleading and often coined as in sio”pao”, the food cart offers both siopao and siomai. The combination of both products utilizes the way of how both foods are prepared by steam.  Siopao is more commonly known as steamed buns in English, is a dish that is one of Filipino’s favorite on-the-go foods. It was adopted from the Chinese baozi, it is mainly a steamed bun filled with meaty filling. There are two favorite flavors that the Filipinos favor, asado and bola-bola. Siomai on the other hand is often ground pork, beef or shrimps and some greens like peas and carrots, wrapped in wanton and then steamed. 

                Being the only food cart in the Philippines that cater siopao, it can easily dominate an area where there is a lack of food establishment that provide siopao. Pinoy Pao costs only 26,888 Pesos to franchise, it includes the 3 x2.5 x6 feet foo cart, an electric steamer, utensils, a set of employee uniform, 400 pesos initial inventory, free franchising seminar and crew training, and free E-Load Business and an accident insurance.
