Yummy Hopia from Salazar Bakery

Last week, I had a craving for hopia so I visited Binondo Chinatown to buy me some packs of these delicious mongo paste filled goodness. Since I already tasted the hopia from Eng Bee Tin and Polland, I decided to drop by Salazar Bakery, which is another popular bakery in Binondo Chinatown.

Salazar Bakery is located along Ongpin Street, Binondo Chinatown. It is just few minutes walk from Binondo Church. The bakery can easily be seen once you crossed two small bridges as you walk along Ongpin Street.

Salazar Bakery was established in 1947 and it offers authentic Chinese delicacies. Salazar Bakery now has branches in different malls around Metro Manila. However, only the Binondo Chinatown branch of Salazar Bakery can only give customer that Chinese ambiance.

I bought Hopia Mongo, which costs 38 Pesos, and Hopia Dice, which costs 39 Pesos. The plastic wrapping of Hopia Mongo is simpler than those of Eng Bee Tin and Polland.

The Hopia Mongo tastes good but it is different from the hopia of Eng Bee Tin and Polland. The Hopia Mongo of Salazar Bakery has thicker breading and tougher than the hopia of the other two bakeries. The mongo paste, on the other hand, is less sweeter. I am a fan of very sweet delicacies but I am not complaining with Salazar Bakery's hopia.

The Hopia Dice also tastes good. I can't compare it with similar hopia from Eng Bee Tin and Polland because I am yet to buy Hopia Dice from those two bakeries.

All in all, I give both Hopia Mongo and Hopia Dice a thumb up. I am placing Salazar Bakery in my list of good food shops around Binondo Chinatown.

Now that I had tasted hopia from Eng Bee Tin, Polland and Salazar Bakery, my next target is Ho-Land Bakery that is also located in Binondo Chinatown.

    You are welcome po.

    Now, I don't know why GoDaddy is asking for your credit card number. I bought a domain from GoDaddy without using any credit card. I just used my Paypal account.

    Ay, meron ngang ganyang hopia. Nadadaanan ko yung ganung style ng hopia sa Binondo eh. Gusto ko ring subukan yun next time kapag naghanap naman ako ng hopia.

    Maka-ube ka pala ah. Ako k lang sa akin kahit anong flavor ng hopia basta huwag lang yung Pandan Flavor. Hindi masarap yun eh.

    I like to eat hopia so I tried Salazar's hopia first. But there are other opportunities for me to taste their tikoy and other offerings in the future.

      I am not affiliated with Salazar Bakery so I don't know what kind of oil that they are using for their hopia. Please call Salazar Bakery at telephone number: 733-1392.
