Lumpiang Shanghai

December 26, 2008

  

I was carried away by this small but truly a food sent from heaven.  It is one of my favorite comfort food which can be bought at any place and definitely available in every corner of the Philippines.  Just a trivia, Lumpiang Shanghai did not originate in Shanghai, China neither is available at that place.  It is truly, 100% Filipino Creation. Thanks to the Chinese who went here and introduced the spring roll.  It evolved to fit the Filipino taste buds and from there, “Lumpiang Shanghai” was born. It is usually served with sweet and sour sauce.  Did you know that aside from the Lechon that is served every occasion, Lumpinang Shanghai is the next popular main dish? Well, that is why I give all my praises to this humble viand but very popular and truly a heaven sent. 

Where to Find 

It is available at every occasion all around the country. What if your craving came up and there is no occasion? Here are few locations which I may suggest makes one of the most delicious Lumpiang Shanghai all year round.  Tacloban City, along T. Claudio st. in-front of Sacred Heart College.  It is only available during school days.  Another on is at Mandaluyong City.  It is located along Boni st. cor. Sikap st.  The name of the restaurant is “UWA“.  It is across the street from the famous Club Muah.  Lumpiang Shanghai is available before lunch up to the time they closes.  Most of the people come to this place to order.  You may also call 4906829 for bulk orders.  From my interview, they are making 600 to 1000 pieces daily excluding the bulk orders they are receiving.  The more you taste, the more you crave.  Sweet and Sour sauce will compliment but for me, plain tomato catchup will bring me to trance. Rapsa talaga.!!!
