Walking around the Greenhills Commercial Center with Anita made us crave for some old-time favorites. On the second level of the Shoppesville building, there is a store that has sold siopao & kuapao (open-faced siopao) since 1974--Chocfull of Nuts! I should know, because Gwama and I were buying siopao there on the 2nd day that it was open! I have been hooked on their snacks ever since. In the mid-eighties, they also opened a store at the Virra Mall, and another branch was opened along Quezon Boulevard in the nineties, but both these branches were closed sometime in 2002 or 2003. The original store in Shoppesville, however, is open to this very day. Prices are quite cheap, and one can have a siopao or a kuapao for P35 only. We shared a kuapao, as we merely wanted to savor the taste of their goodies, and it was still of the same taste and quality as we remember it.
