Once upon a time there was a certain siopao that wanted to know if it was espeyshal. And this zerten siopao didn't just want to know if it was espeyshal in its flavor and nutrition to just anyone! But no, no such thing and no such luck! This siopao specifically wanted to know if it's espeyshal to only one zerten chinez! We don't know why this is so. One reason could be the lack of certainty serves to fuel the siopao's fixation!

Adding to the siopao's dilemma was the one zerten thing in this edible situation. If the siopao asked, the answer would certainly be no. Promise. Because the chinez has yet to learn the word yes. (Much like a favorite two-year-old's and some adults whose favorite syllable is "No" just because.)

LOL. So the siopao is stuck in the steamer.

But not really. The siopao is bored in the hot steamer so has been making forays into other counters and kitchens, just seeing more of the world, and an occasional broad chest. Sometimes though, thru zerten occasions, it could seem like the siopao might could would know the answer to the siopao question.

But, no, foiled again. There's no answer to the espeyshal question. Not anytime soon, and perhaps never.

May the food gods and goddesses grant the siopao the best of luck, as it goes on to other cafes and food courts, with less regrets than the maximum possible number, even as in its heart, it does know that it is espeyshal to itself.
