Lumpia is a staple dish in the Philippines. We wandered the busy streets of Manila to find the best streetside lumpia that we could get our hands on. Fried, Fresh and a dessert version.
It’s standard fare at parties and is always an instant crowd favorite, regardless of culture and race.
One of the best qualities of lumpia is its diversity and simplicity—it’s usually made with spring roll pastry, chopped vegetables, and you protein. Biting into a perfectly wrapped lumpia is always a delightful experience that one never forgets.
