New addiction: Eng Bee Tin tikoy and hopia



My fondness for Eng Bee Tin's products have prompted me to make regular pilgrimages to their store in Waltermart Makati, which unfortunately does not always stock all of their goodies.

I only buy their ube/pastillas hopia, which has a yin-yang-esque stuffing of purple yam (ube) and pastillas (a sweet made out of milk and sugar stirred continuously over a fire until it sets into a firm, putty-like consistency), and their buko pandan tikoy (a glutinous rice cake of Chinese origin). The latter was not available the last time I went, so I tried the plain one, which wasn't too bad. I have also bought the strawberry tikoy on other occasions, but found it a bit bland.
