Thanks, Iska. What great info on how salted eggs are sold in different cities. That’s a blog post in itself – how salted eggs are sold in Asia! Yes, the cuapao was so good & a hit at our dining table. Glad you came by 🙂

They come boiled or raw, depends on where to buy. The same goes in Beijing as we lived there for about 5 years.

A bit different though when I was in Brunei. The eggs were all covered in mud 🙂

Yummy cuapao by the way… looks filing, too!

Thanks, Tina – I couldn’t have done this without your unique Bola-bola recipe. I was trying to figure out how to cook the meatballs before putting into the buns. Your recipe was so delish. Thanks for letting me use it & posting about it. Nice of you to stop by 🙂

Hi Nami, if you prefer, you can use regular hard-boiled eggs for this Cuapao with Bola-bola on the steamed buns. The salted eggs are just super salty which add a contrast to the non-greasy boiled meatballs here. Thanks for the kindest comments – I enjoy cooking for my family & glad you like these selections, too!

Looks so god with steamed buns and meatballs. You really know how to cook family comfort food Elizabeth!

Thanks, Chef Ray! So nice of you to give me such positive feedback. Yes, using an open-faced steamed bun like “cuapao” gives my family more options for the ‘palaman’ (filling) any way they choose. Also it’s easier for me. Glad you stopped by 🙂
