A TikTok user captured a humorous dining moment at a restaurant in SM Mall of Asia.
In a video uploaded by TikTok user @not.nayowmi on September 1, she was seen enjoying xiao long bao with her family when she pops a whole dumpling into her mouth—only for the liquid filling to unexpectedly squirt out, startling her in a funny moment.
The clip quickly circulated online, drawing laughter and reactions from viewers who could relate to the messy yet relatable dining experience.
The uploader said the incident was taken on June 1, but she only uploaded it on the video sharing platform early this month.
“TB (throwback) sa aking katangahan,” she captioned her post.
The video has so far racked up 28 million views, 2 million likes, 7,721 comments, and 61,700 saves.

Social media users flooded the post with humorous reactions, with some jokingly likening her to Singapore’s Merlion.
“Merlion ang peg,” a TikTok user commented.
“Si ate ay naging merlion,” another wrote.
“Merlion ang atake,” an online user also said.
“Earth style: Earth Dragon bomb jutsu,” another commented.
Some viewers also expressed concern for the diner seated in front of the uploader, who could have gotten splattered by the xiao long bao’s filling.
“Naging pusit bigla e,” a TikTok user said.
“Sino nasa tapat mo ate? HAHAHAHAHHAA” another asked.
The uploader said her brother was seated in front of her.
“Yung kuya ko hahahaha beast mode!” she said.
