Notes
Apart from being a nation of lechon, the Philippines is also a nation of spring
rolls. It has a number of different versions, which vary according to the
wrapper, the filling, and how it is cooked. Either fried or served with a
freshly made wrapper, you will never get short of delicious lumpia recipes
when you come for a visit. Nueva Ecija, a province in Central Luzon, has its
own lumpia version made of coconut meat instead of the usual bean sprouts
and heart of palm. It’s a simple yet very tasty version that is a common sight
at fiesta buffets.
