From being the subject of that classic jingle “Hopiang di mabili”…to that boomer pick up line “Hopia love me too,” there’s no denying that Hopia has been a favorite of Pinoys for generations.
And if you love those small bean cakes that comes in all sorts of different flavors then I “hopia” all excited for the first-ever National Hopia Day happening this July!
Led by the equally iconic hopia bakeshop, Eng Bee Tin, the event will be held from July 19-21 at the Mall of Asia Music Hall.
