Some say that siomai is the new fishball, which I must admit true. The number of siomai outlets is growing from LRT and MRT stations to malls, schools and other public places. Slowly, it is outgrowing other street foods like fishballs, kikiam, squidballs and calamares.

I would say that we are in a “Siomai” phenomena. Can you still count the total number of siomai outlet in Metro Manila alone? A lot of people loves siomai so if you want a business that would really profit, then why not go with the trend?
