Hopia Mongo is a Filipino pastry made with soft, flaky layers of dough filled with sweet mung bean paste. A beloved snack in Filipino cuisine, its origins trace back to Chinese influences, reflecting the shared culinary heritage of the two cultures. The filling is made from mashed mung beans, sugar, and often a touch of lard or oil for richness, encased in dough typically prepared with flour and shortening. While it provides a satisfying energy boost from carbohydrates and a modest amount of protein from mung beans, Hopia Mongo can be high in sugar and fats depending on the recipe. It’s best enjoyed in moderation, as its high calorie content and refined ingredients may not suit those seeking lower-fat or low-sugar options. Despite this, its comforting flavors and cultural significance make it a worthwhile treat for those exploring Filipino sweets.
