Etymology

Borrowed from Spanish hopia, ultimately from Hokkien, possibly 好餅 / 好饼 (hó piáⁿ, literally “good pastry”) according to Chan-Yap (1980)[1] and Manuel (1948).[2] However, since no pastry with such a name exists, another possibility would be Hokkien 香餅 / 香饼 (hioⁿ-piáⁿ, literally “fragrant pastry”) as found in Early Manila Hokkien sources.[3] See also See also Indonesian bakpia.

The interjection is an alteration of hop to sound like the food.
