My friend Teresa and I went on our weekly quest again for delicious street food. We were hoping to find the eve elusive Skillet, but I guess they are taking a long weekend because they were not parked at the Starbucks headquarters today. So we will continue with out pursuit of skillet. It better b good!
We tried out Lumpia world because we Hacé fascinated by it since it was parked outside one of our favorite bar. If you don't know Lumpia. It is a Filipino egg roll and for some reason I like it better than a traditional Chinese egg roll. We both ordered chicken adobo. This was essentially dark and white meet chicken stewed in vegetables and hens served over rice. It was a good sized portion, and I really liked the flavor profile of the sauce. Overall I likecD it. Teresa said her chicken tasted dry and she had lots of little bones in hers. Mine did not have that problem. So I think she ended up with more white meat and meat from around the neck which has little bones.
I ordered a Lumpia sampler. It came with four pieces of Lumpia of my choice. I chose pork, chicken, steak and a dessert banana one covered in chocolate. All of them were fine but kind of unremarkable. The three different meat ones didn't taste that different from them. I think I should have opted for no chocolate on the dessert one which would have made the fried banana one stand out more. I think maybe the problem was the Lumpia was so freshly made that the oil didn't have ti e to sink in and make it more flavorful like it is when my Filipino co-workers bring Lumpia in for lunch at work. It has had some rest time and is deliciousness.
So overall I enjoyed teresa's company and liked Lumpia world but I didn't live it.
