Lumpiang Shanghai

June 4, 2010

   

Just a short trivia, Lumpiang Shanghai did not originate in Shanghai China. If you go there and if you try to look for one, you’ll get frustrated because Lumpiang Shanghai came from the Philippines. That goes the same with the Shanghai Fried Rice.  This lumpia or spring rolls has been in our culture since time in memorial and it has been associated with us being a Filipino.  This heaven sent spring roll can be found everywhere in our country.  We have different varieties of spring rolls. Here are the samples: lumpiang gulay, lumpiang baboy, Lumpia sa Ubod, Lumpiang Saging (Turon pala yon), Lumpiang Hubad and of course, Lumpiang Shanghai.

  

For this entry, there is this Chinese Restaurant that serves this directly from their kitchen. You will see that there were signs of crackling and steaming when they put it on your table. The taste was very sumptuous even my kids did like it. Lumpiang Shanghai is not complete without the sweet and sour sauce. It also went well with the concoction of chili garlic with soy and kalamansi.

   

Where to Find

 

This is the Lumpiang Shanghai at King Bee. King Bee is located along Marcos Highway, near Masinag, Antipolo City. If you happened to crave for Lumpia and you are at the vicinity, try to drop by and experience the Lumpiang Shanghai that I am boasting about.
