10 Filipino Foods You Should Know About

Lumpia shanghai is Filipino food 101. These meat-filled eggrolls are Chinese in origin but now staples at every Filipino pot luck. Compared to traditional eggrolls, lumpia shanghai is smaller and filled with a mix of mostly meat and some vegetables (usually pork). If you order from a restaurant, make sure you specify lumpia shanghai and not fresh lumpia, which is bigger, mostly vegetables, and not fried.
