Believe it or not, popular TV host Cory Quirino made hopia one of the country's most popular pastries.
Chua siblings Gerald, Gerik, and Geraldyn are the fourth generation to run Eng Bee Tin Believe it or not, popular TV host Cory Quirino made hopia one of the country's most popular pastries.
"Sometime in the 1990s, TV host Cory Quirino wanted to do a feature on Ongpin for her new show, CityLine. My father, Gerry Chua, played the gracious host and paved the way for her staff to interview and film around the Ongpin district. Ms. Quirino’s gratitude for this unconditional assistance was expressed by featuring our family's innovation, hopia ube, on CityLine. And the rest is history," said Gerik.
Gerik mentioned that Eng Bee Tin is still in contact with Cory, the current president of the Mutya ng Pilipinas beauty pageant, one of the longest-running beauty contests in the country. In 1912, Mr. Chua Chiu Hong established Eng Bee Tin in a simple stall in the heart of Ongpin, Manila. The stall became well-known for its traditional Chinese delicacies, such as hopia, tikoy, and glutinous balls.
On what would otherwise be an uneventful day, Gerry felt the need to cool off after a slow day of business with some ice cream. He went to the supermarket, where he conversed with the saleslady, asking what ice cream flavor sold the most. ‘Ube’ was the reply.
