Your comment was so interesting, I went straight over to Wikipedia to learn more about the migrations of this dish!<br /><br />"Lumpia are pastries of Chinese origin similar to spring rolls popular in the Philippines and Indonesia. The term lumpia derives from lunpia (traditional Chinese: 潤餅; pinyin: rùnbǐng; POJ: jūn-piáⁿ, lūn-piáⁿ) in the Hokkien language. <br /><br />The recipe, both fried and fresh versions, was brought by the Chinese immigrants from the Fujian province of China to Southeast Asia and became popular where they settled in the Philippines and Indonesia.<br /> <br />In the Netherlands and Flanders, it is spelled loempia which is the old Indonesian spelling for lumpia and has also become the generic name for "spring roll" in Dutch. <br /><br />A variant is the Vietnamese lumpia, wrapped in a thinner piece of pastry, in a size close to a spring roll though the wrapping closes the ends off completely, which is typical for lumpia."<br /><br />Have a great week, my friend!Bentobirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608484496354584828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996438764312982226.post-44007484244694977182010-05-03T07:37:17.988-04:002010-05-03T07:37:17.988-04:00Hi there sherimiya :) I haven't made a whole f...Hi there sherimiya :) I haven't made a whole fish at home before either, but my friend's calm, casual approach to the red snapper made it look pretty do-able! <br />A good cooking project to try, as hubby and I are always ordering crispy whole fish out at Asian restaurants...it would be so cool to be able to enjoy at home!

I wish avocados were a bit more durable though. By the time my bento makes it through the morning all the way to lunch, any avocado I've thrown in has typically browned a bit. :( Yours, however, looks delectable.<br /><br />Also, the mango wedge looks like a piece of art. Coconut and edible flower petals! Wow. Creative, flavorful, colorful, and appetizing.
