Bakpia Pathok are nationally well-known, small round-shaped Indonesian-style pastries, usually stuffed with mung beans (1), but have recently come in other fillings as well (e.g. chocolate, durian, and even cheese (2)). They are one of Yogyakarta's specialties (besides gudeg) named after a "suburb" in this city (Pathok) where these sweet pastries were originated. (1, 3) These pastries are similar to bigger Indonesian round pastries (or "pia") - the only difference being the size. They are commercially packaged in boxes of 6 and sold at many food shops in Yogyakarta. (personal experience when visiting Yogyakarta in 1995)
