LUMPIA
Theresa Ford | Events and Conference Manager | Frisco Embassy Suites
Growing up in the Philippines, food was at the heart of every celebration, whether it was a birthday, a fiesta, or Christmas (which, for us, begins in September). Among the dishes we always shared was lumpia, crispy, flavorful spring rolls that capture the essence of our culture. It’s a simple, affordable dish that brings people together, bite after bite, reminding us of home, family, and joyful gatherings.
