Anyone know what this is called?

During my recent visit to Kora in Queens, I stumbled upon a truly memorable Filipino pastry that I had never seen before, sparking my curiosity to learn more about it. Filipino desserts are known for their rich flavors and unique combinations, often blending indigenous ingredients with Spanish and American influences due to the Philippines’ diverse cultural history. One of the fascinating aspects of Filipino pastries is that many have interesting names and stories behind them, such as "bibingka," a rice cake traditionally cooked in clay pots during Christmas, or "ensaymada," a sweet brioche-like pastry topped with butter, sugar, and cheese. Another popular category includes "hopia," a flaky pastry filled with sweet mung bean or ube (purple yam) paste. The dessert I found at Kora felt like a hidden gem, which is common in Queens where diverse immigrant communities bring authentic flavors from their homelands. Filipino food in Queens thrives with many bakeries and restaurants offering classic and modern takes on traditional dishes. This diversity means discovering unique treats becomes a delightful adventure. Sampling this mysterious pastry opened up my interest in exploring more Filipino sweets. They often highlight ingredients like coconut, ube, pandan, and warm brown sugar, creating a comforting yet exotic dessert profile. If you’re visiting Queens and enjoy trying new pastries, Filipino bakeries are a must-visit to experience these cultural and flavorful delights. If anyone has recognized the name of this incredible dessert from Kora or knows where else to find similar Filipino pastries in Queens or beyond, sharing that knowledge helps build community and appreciation for Filipino cuisine. Meanwhile, I recommend checking out Kora’s bakery section and other Filipino shops in Queens to explore and taste their excellent selection of desserts.
