Best Street Lumpia and Turon in Manila

Lumpia is a staple dish in the Philippines. We wandered the busy streets of Manila to find the best streetside lumpia that we could get our hands on. Fried, Fresh and a dessert version.
It’s standard fare at parties and is always an instant crowd favorite, regardless of culture and race.

One of the best qualities of lumpia is its diversity and simplicity—it’s usually made with spring roll pastry, chopped vegetables, and you protein. Biting into a perfectly wrapped lumpia is always a delightful experience that one never forgets.

On this video, we tell the stories of the humble beginnings of some of the most underrated spots where you can get tasty lumpia in the city like Popoy’s Lumpiang Shanghai and Lumpiang Ubod ni Eduard Verano, plus a bonus hidden spot for delicious turon, Mang Leo’s Turon.

The humble nature of Filipino Street Food Vendors knows no equal. Mula pagkabata hangang ngayon, ako ay pinabusog ng mga taong katulad nila. Salamat sa pag-feature sa kanila FEATR.

Man that last guy, he just sound so humble and genuine, I hope his business will keep on getting better

[eriv]

Ang humble nila, my favourite part is they mention na pagmmahal nila for what they’re doing

[sobangcha]

love the way this was documented! no outrageous background music, just subtle music, simple narrations and the guests speaking. It really is all that's needed.

[samuel]

l've noticed everyone of the vendors think of quality first rather than profit. And as a result the people keep coming back over and over again. Secret to their success!!

Back in the early 1980s, when I was a young sailor, I spent some of the best times of my entire life in Olongapo….. back in those days before the Internet and cell phones, it felt so exotic… It was a very small small, but always busy day and night… Along the street was a wide variety of vendors, selling all kinds of barbecued everything and it was delicious. One of my favorites, of course was lumpia… Nothing better than an ice, cold, San Miguel, beer and a pile of lumpia with spicy sweet sauce on a hot steamy Philippine afternoon!👊🏽🤙🏽💯

It's a wrap! Just like the the humble dish lumpia, these stories are packed with warmth and inspiration. Kudos to team FEATR for showing the humble hands behind the best streetside lumpia in Manila.

napaka good vibes naman nung vendor ng lumpiang ubod. tama yung sabi nilang tatlo sa pagmamahal ng ginagawa d mawawala ang appreciation ng mga tao at babalik at babalik.

[owwsdingatlaga]

super solid yung lumpia ni manong darwin 10/10 recommended talaga all around yung lumpiang shanghai nya. pang ulam pang bday, pang pulutan, pang merienda, chibog pag lasing.

[IkIiIrIbIoIt]

Oh my!!! That turon I can attest is the best turon ever!!! Super! I used to buy from there everyday when I would fetch our kids in the nearby Montessori school! I am glad to know it is still open. I will certainly go back!!!!

[Andrei-ewct]

Yung turon, itsura pa lang, alam kong masarap talaga siya. Ang lutong tingnan nung wrapper, tapos, yung saging, ang lambot tingnan. 😋

[MrRobertito]
