Hi, can you please share the recipe of the wrapper with me? I have tasted fresh lumpia from Bacolod with this kind of wrapper and it was really good. I would like to try making it as well. Thank you.

saffron, unfortunately, I don’t have an address or telephone number. We just went to the market, through the seafood section, to the veggies, and if you find the largest seller of fresh ubod, usually with several trunks worth of ubod being sliced to order, the Chans are right there. Ask around and I bet you will find them in the main market in Bacolod. Sorry, I can’t be more precise, but I was being guided around by locals…

ei MM, where exactly is the Chan’s business located? I go to Bacolod practically every week for 5 yrs now and try to bring pasalubong for the kids when I go home. For a change I’d like to make something for them using this lumpia wrapper. If you’re impressed, it’s definitely worth checking:) Thanks!

I’ve also seen this in the Kamuning market. They do it the old-fashioned, manual way without a ladle. Must take a lot of practice to be able to make uniform, round lumpia wrappers with a hand swirl. Fascinating to watch.

Hi MM! The Pasig wet market is behind the Pasig City hall. The market itself Is a dead end so it serves like a rotunda that all the jeepneys plying the routes goes around the market. Its more orderly now unlike a couple of years back.

Yes, its ‘that’ city hall with the shabu tiangge scandal.

Don’t forget to visit Ado’s pansit!

They didn’t by any chance share the recipe or ratios? Wheat or rice flour or both? Now if I could only find some fresh ubod or those tail-less mongo sprouts. Thanks for the post. Now to experiment…..
