It's been 5 months already that I haven't eaten "lumpia", this is my favorite snack back in our Country and we have a lady who will bring us in our office every 10 am everyday! LOL! ANyway, it's been two weekends already, hubby and I made our own lumpia and we both love it with the hot sauce! Hmmm...I feel like home! LOL! What is your favorite snack food? Have you tried eating "lumpia" or spring rolls? DO you like it?

I love lumpia, omg, I absolutely do! Especially the seaweed spring rolls from Luk Yuen restaurant. I love to dip them in the sweet chili sauce. Now it's making me hungry thinking about it. Finger-lickin' good! Another fave snack is pizza, french fries and clubhouse sandwich. Argh.. I wanna eat now.

Hi Che, I really love Lumpia too but not using it as snacks here. My hubby has no idea what Lumpia is until I made it. But as what you said, making our own with the different ingredients from the original we always have in our country. I used vegetarian crumbles and spinach instead of our usual mongo sprouts and geens beens or bamboo shoots to wrap with the lumpia wrapper. It tastes good and my hubby likes it too. we don't even use any dressings or sauce with it. Just plain lumpia for our dinner with mashed potatoes. yummy!!!

HI Che, I have also been used to mashed potatoes here. Though we have potatoes in our country but not cooking it this way. Yes, spinach and ground beef are good for lumpia. Since weh have no malunggay here, I used spinach also for monggos. they call monggo here as mongbean. You can buy mongoes in any Asian store. It tasted really good.

No, I have never had any lumpia , from the picture they really look good. I am going to do a little research and see if I can find a recipe for them. I would like to taste them. It is morning here and I got pancake and sausage on my mind. I am not going to eat any though. Just a thought.

my favorite snack food is cereal if I want something sweet. But on a normal day I snack on carrots and broccoli with ranch dressing. I don't know what lumpia is. The picture looks good though. What is it?

Wow..your snack is very healthy! Lumpia is made out of ground pork, sliced carrots, onion, and pepper then with seasoning! You will mix it all then wrap then fry it!

I just looked up the recipe for lumpia and they look tasty! I'm going to try to make them this weekend with my mom and hopefully they turn out good. The recipe I found calls for ground beef, carrots, onions, garlic and seasoning to taste. Does this sound familiar?

Hi che, the “lumpia” shown in the attached image look really delicious. They look like the fried spring roll in my place. The spring roll prepared here is filled with mixed veggies like bean sprout, carrot, onion etc and other ingredients like crab and meat as well. People here mostly like to eat spring rolls without frying for they are not so oily. They are so many delicious desserts like meat pie (shaobao), curry puff, steamed bun with yummy mixed ingredients, . . . and I like them all. I couldn’t refrain myself from taking any of them posting and cheers.

I love all kinds of lumpia... when i was working abroad... i did not even miss it... because in the place where i worked... all parties celebrated were not complete without the lumpia... and this was the most requested menu... Back at home... my mother would make a bunch and put them in the freezer... so everytime we have a lumpia craving... we can fry some anytime...

[i]Hi aseretdd, really? that's cool! I attended some gathering here by our "kababayan" but no one made lumpia, I am planning next time I will do it, I know they miss it but maybe they are just busy! I love it very much also and what I miss is the veggie lumpia, I can't find the ingredients here but I know I can always try another stuff![/i]
