Lumpia is an all time favourite food to serve in our family whether there is an occasion or not. I guess because it is quite accessible anytime since it can be kept in the fridge and cook whenever you like for up to a month. You can have variety of fillings, but, in this recipe we use pork.
According to Wikipedia, Lumpia are various types of spring rolls commonly found in Indonesia and the Philippines. Lumpia are made of thin paper-like or crepe-like pastry skin call "lumpia wrapper" enveloping savoury or sweet fillings. It is often served as an appetizer or snack, and might be served deep fried or fresh (unfried). Lumpia are Indonesian and Filipino adaptions of the Fujinese and Teochew Popiah, introduced to the Philippine islands since at least the 7th century. [7]
