January 12: Hopiang Ube (purple yam)

Hopia (In Chinese, which means "good pastry") is a fusion of Filipino and Chinese pastry and the inexpensive version of moon cake.  It's usually flaky and stuffed with mung bean (monggo) paste. Since the traditional version tasted a bit bland for the Filipino palate, the Chinese deli Eng Bee Tin in Binondo created the first Hopiang Ube (Purple Yam) to appeal to the local taste. This later became their signature product until other bakers started selling it in the 80s. I used to love snacking on hopiang monggo in elementary school, but as I grew older, my preference shifted to hopiang ube. I also tried hopiang baboy but I didn't like it at all.
