It is a small, round-shaped pastry that is typically filled with sweet bean paste made from mung beans, known as monggo in Tagalog. Hopia can also come in other flavors such as ube, pandan, or pineapple. The origin of hopia can be traced back to China, where it is known as "hopia" or "ho-ping". It was introduced to the Philippines by Chinese immigrants and has since become a beloved pastry in the country. The taste of hopia is sweet and slightly savory due to the use of a flaky pastry dough that is made with flour, oil, and water. The filling is typically made with mashed mung beans, sugar, and sometimes flavored with other ingredients such as salted egg, cheese, or coconut. The pastry is typically baked until golden brown and crispy on the outside, while the filling is soft and chewy on the inside.
