Fresh Lumpia

This is the lumpia you normally buy at Little Store or at Green Patio Restaurant... but ours has a fresher taste, and our ingredients have greater variety. We usually serve this only on special occasions like when our ama comes for lunch because it's quite tedious to cook. We usually lay on the dining table the wrap, garnish and stuffing and wrap the lumpia by ourselves.
