Hopia Ube (at Baker's Hill)

I've been a big fan of Eng Bee Tin's ube hopia eversince, actually anything with ube appeals to me. My friend recently spent the long weekend in a vacation in Palawan and I took this chance to ask her a big favor... if she can buy me a box of ube hopia, monggo hopia, crinkles and ube/ choco munchies from Baker's Hills. A lot of people have been raving about this so I know this is definitely something I should not miss to try.

I got the monggo and ube hopia, ube crinkles and some cashew tarts yesterday afternoon after meeting up with my friend. I was just so excited with the goodies so when I got home, I immediately placed them inside the fridge for a while. I couldn't help but try the ube hopia so I decided to just have it for dinner.

The ube hopia was just delicious! It was made with vegetable oil although they have one with pork oil as well. The crust was not too thick nor flaky but I loved how thick the ube filling is. It tasted like real ube and not just any coloring or whatsoever. It was different from the usual Chinese hopia we see in the grocery. This is definitely getting two thumbs up from me!

I also tried the monggo hopia (sorry, I wasn't able to take a photo). It was also good but I noticed that the crust was thicker than the ube. Was it because it was made with pork oil and not vegetable oil? That I don't know, but anyway it's still good. But if I had to choose between the two, the ube hopia will be on top of my list.

I still have cashew tarts and ube crinkles in the fridge. Gotta munch on them later!
