Hopia is a Filipino pastry with sweetened mongo bean paste inside a flaky dough. While the plain hopia is a little too bland and unexciting for my tastes, I changed my mind about this pastry when I first tried Eng Bee Tin’s line of combination hopia. These are hopia cakes that contain two different flavors. Aside from the fact that this is sweeter than the average hopia, the two flavors complement each other so well that it feels like an explosion in your mouth. I love the ube/pastillas hopia (not the one in the picture), but the ube/langka one is good too.
