Lumpia (Spring Rolls)

Lumpia is a very common asian delicacy. It is a traditional filipino delicacy and you always see this dish in every shindig. Last Saturday was Madie's birthday. She is my children's one special friend. Aside from giving her a gift, I also made her some lumpia. Her guests love the lumpia. They said it was a contagious food to eat. What a delight to hear that they really loved it. Let me share with you my lumpia recipe.
