Miscellaneous | Tipas Hopia

I'm so living under a rock that this writer didn't know how famous this Tipas Special Hopia Ube is. When a person gifted me with these, I thought they were just hopia. I don't mean to disrespect the gift but I do love hopia and that's simply it. Every time I passby Binondo, I always grab this from Salazar or Eng Bee Tin. Getting it from Taguig is a very much welcome thing for me. I like to try new things that's why we stated this Katooga thing.

When I took a photo of the gift and uploaded to my family's group chat, I learned from my wife how famous this hopia is. That she was envious that she's in the UAE right now and here I am being gifted with this Tipas Special Hopia Ube. Honestly I don't know the brand because I don't see these in malls or shops or even bus terminals for that matter. Anyway, now I know they are famous, are they far more better than the ones I get from 7-11?

After my first bite, yes. Do I have to add to it more? Yes is something I can live with. I will definitely go to their shop in Taguig and buy more so I can write more about them. I tasted the Ube and their Monggo variants. I was told they have the pork one. Since this was a gift, its rude to ask how much it is when I was given this. I will definitely ask when I have a chance to talk to the person who gifted this to me.

*as of this writing, another friend told me that this is being sold office to office by an ambulant vendor in Makati CBD for Php150 for a box of 20pcs.
