As from my previous entry, I had the opportunity to meet with Eng Bee Tin owner, Gerry Chua. But way before I met him, I was already a regular in his store along Quentin Paredes. When I was a newbie in Binondo, you’d see me inside their store almost everyday buying my favorite Red Monggo hopia. I’ve taken to liking the ube, ube-queso and pina flavors. Or I’d buy the large haw flakes tube. Remember haw flakes? ---- that flat-circular sweet I fondly called “osta” when I was a kid.
If my lunchmates ate lunch ahead of me because I was stuck in a meeting, I’d head to Eng Bee Tin and buy myself a seafood rice in a box. If it’s Chinese New Year, you’d see me queuing for the Tikoy as well.
For pasalubong, Eng Bee Tin hopia is also my choice. My dad who is a diabetic munch on Hopia Monggo Lite. My hubby loves the Hopia Hapon and Ube-Queso.
Gerry Chua is right --- everybody indeed loves hopia. J
Eng Bee Tin hopia can be found at their stores along Ongpin (the original!), Quentin Paredes, Odeon Mall at LRT Recto Station and in Gerry’s Chuan Kee Restaurant and Mr. Ube.
