Thanks to all for the help. Arrived in Seattle last night......you folks get some rain here in the PNW. 
Will try Ranch 99 tomorrow. Going to Pikes Place this weekend so will try Me Sum Pastry there..
It's great to be with the family for Thanksgiving.

Costco has humbow. They're pretty good. LingLing brand used market them as manapua, can't find'em up here any more. Drat! |

Oh - Pike Place Market is in Seattle. It's worth the trip if you haven't seen it before. That's where they throw the fish. There are many shops of all varieties. The Cinnamon Roller has a whole wheat "sticky bun" that's almost meaty. YUM! It's 3 doors down from Me Sum Pastry, btw. |

There is a store in the Pike Place market that sells, among other things, hum bow's (Pake for maunapua) that'll knock your socks off! I believe it's called "Me Sum Pastry" on the right side of Pike Place in the first block after entering on Pike Street (it's one way). They have BBQ pork, chicken curry and veggie versions.
Indeed, Uyijamaia sells several brands of maunapuas as well, but they aren't fresh. |

They call them char siu bao here in Cleveland. I don't care what they call them, I like them all!
Sounds like a lovely addition to anyone's Thanksgiving dinner. |

99 Ranch Market, Jim:
http://www.99ranch.com/store_locator_2.php?state_id=62
They are called Siu Pau or Sio Pau. The local 99 Ranch (San Diego) always has them freshly steamed in the attached restaurant as well as in the frozen section. Ric |

@ cmdrpiffle. LOL! Very resourceful. Remind me never to eat "chicken" at your house. |

Where in PNW? Uwajimaya Asian Markets would probably have 'em. (Seattle, Bellevue, Renton, Beaverton OR). You might also be able to order from dim sum restaurants. |
