Best Street Lumpia and Turon in Manila

Lumpia is a staple dish in the Philippines. We wandered the busy streets of Manila to find the best streetside lumpia that we could get our hands on. Fried, Fresh and a dessert version.
It’s standard fare at parties and is always an instant crowd favorite, regardless of culture and race.
One of the best qualities of lumpia is its diversity and simplicity-it’s usually made with spring roll pastry, chopped vegetables, and you protein. Biting into a perfectly wrapped lumpia is always a delightful experience that one never forgets.
On this video, we tell the stories of the humble beginnings of some of the most underrated spots where you can get tasty lumpia in the city like Popoy’s Lumpiang Shanghai and Lumpiang Ubod ni Eduard Verano, plus a bonus hidden spot for delicious turon, Mang Leo’s Turon.
LOCATIONS:
Popoy’s Lumpiang Shanghai
260 Noli St., Cor. Juan Felipe St., Sangandaan, Caloocan City
Mang Leo’s Turon
56e Esteban Abada St, Quezon City
Lumpiang Ubod ni Eduard Verano
Tayuman St, Santa Cruz, Manila

Man that last guy, he just sound so humble and genuine, I hope his business will keep on getting better

[@eriv3344]

Ang humble nila, my favourite part is they mention na pagmmahal nila for what they’re doing

[@nestorjrlim3938]

The humble nature of Filipino Street Food Vendors knows no equal. Mula pagkabata hangang ngayon, ako ay pinabusog ng mga taong katulad nila. Salamat sa pag-feature sa kanila FEATR.

[@adoboarchives4738]

Sobrang sarap nila kakwentuhan tska nakakagiliw sila magbiro

[@estelitalimayo5847]

😊

[@sobangcha3042]

love the way this was documented! no outrageous background music, just subtle music, simple narrations and the guests speaking. It really is all that's needed.

[@owwsdingatlaga8633]

napaka good vibes naman nung vendor ng lumpiang ubod. tama yung sabi nilang tatlo sa pagmamahal ng ginagawa d mawawala ang appreciation ng mga tao at babalik at babalik.

[@featrmedia]

💯

[@cliffevangelio5211]

It's a wrap! Just like the the humble dish lumpia, these stories are packed with warmth and inspiration. Kudos to team FEATR for showing the humble hands behind the best streetside lumpia in Manila.

[@IkIiIrIbIoIt]

The lumpia ubod seller, spitting words of wisdom. Kudos bro!

[@Kilosjuan]

Ganda ng coverage. Props to the research team for finding and featr'ing them. 💯❤

[@featrmedia]

Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼

[@arizonaunplugged-neilbrook9509]

Back in the early 1980s, when I was a young sailor, I spent some of the best times of my entire life in Olongapo….. back in those days before the Internet and cell phones, it felt so exotic… It was a very small small, but always busy day and night… Along the street was a wide variety of vendors, selling all kinds of barbecued everything and it was delicious. One of my favorites, of course was lumpia… Nothing better than an ice, cold, San Miguel, beer and a pile of lumpia with spicy sweet sauce on a hot steamy Philippine afternoon!👊🏽🤙🏽💯

[@owwsdingatlaga8633]

super solid yung lumpia ni manong darwin 10/10 recommended talaga all around yung lumpiang shanghai nya. pang ulam pang bday,pang pulutan, pang merienda, chibog pag lasing.

[@featrmedia]

Da best! 👍🏼

[@user-nm1ho1uf1e]

Saan pwesto nya?

[@Pluzzie]

love that they show case them, street vendors, to truly boost their sales

[@mariamish8988]

Erwan's accent and voice over really suit foodie vlogs! Thank you for always featuring Filipino foods and our culture.

[@JK-fn7zv]

Ito yung quality content may puso 🥹♥⭐ at same time informative 💯🇵🇭

[@Jessica-zt7oh]

Oh my!!! That turon I can attest is the best turon ever!!! Super! I used to buy from there everyday when I would fetch our kids in the nearby Montessori school! I am glad to know it is still open. I will certainly go back!!!!

[@alyssaalim9360]

Ito talaga ang mga nakakamiss na pagkain pag nsa abroad ka

[@traphimawari7760]

You are missing it because you can't make it, I never had this problem because I can cook and make all these abroad, the only thing I miss about the Philippines is the sun. To be nostalgic is to be weak, stay strong and embrace your newfound culture abroad.

[@Andrei-ew4ct]

Yung turon, itsura pa lang, alam kong masarap talaga siya. Ang lutong tingnan nung wrapper, tapos, yung saging, ang lambot tingnan. 😋

[@MrRobertito17]

Thank you for sharing this video and giving our kababayan a chance to show that hard work and faith can make a big difference in life. God bless the street vendors showcased in this video.

[@Kiks-Wisdom-sotto]

As a pinoy myself from Canada, thanks for promoting this video. True hard work, they love it, and doing the best they can make them very focus avoiding troubles. I was fascinated with the response from the last vendor when the lady customer said "I'm from Texas, USA". Vendor responded very nicely: "maski taga saan po kayo masasarapan kayo dito sa tinda ko". For me being humble, proud & happy of your honest work is priceless.

[@oscarlacson1471]

Great job everyone!! I’m am sooooooo proud of our Filipino hard working food service, they put all their heart and love cooking, they deserve to be recognized! Thank you for sharing!

[@lennonjohnradam4217]

Grabeeee! Solid talaga mga Noypi pagdating sa tamang diskarte! 😭😭😭 Iyak ako eh 🥹🥹🥹

[@yangangeles1246]

Thank you for showing the hardwork, passion and love of Filipinos Street Vendors!! 💪🏻🙏🏻🫶🏻

[@risajohannaneri7611]

Thank you for always featuring Filipino foods and our culture.di talaga nakakasawa panoorin :)

[@ceej3808]

Thank you Featr! enjoyed watching this one more than the food, it’s the culture and people’s story behind. 🧡

[@09corpoblu]

English subtitles please. I'm Filipino but I share this channel to my English friends and really interested with Filipino cuisine but can't understand what they are saying. Otherwise, it's a really great vid. Love Lumpia

[@pheebsdazon3469]

While it is commendable.that you share our culture with non Filipinos, I think Erwan and his team really created these videos to "reintroduce" our food culture to Filipinos, YOUNG AND OLD. That we may rediscover the beauty of Filipino food. Contrary to what most foreign critics often say about our food, its strength lies in the simplicity of our food and the love we put into making each and every dish.

[@09corpoblu]

@@pheebsdazon3469 umm no, surely it is shared across to everyone and not geared towards a specific demographic. It is still the case now that not many know what Filipino food actually is. They know Thai, Chinese, Indian but not Filipino. I'm sure the international community is also very eager to learn more about Filipino culture and food.

[@pheebsdazon3469]

Well, he and his team know how to put subtitles in their videos and he certainly can afford it. Some parts are even narrated in English, so why not put subtitles. I think that was intentional. But I may be wrong. That is just my opinion based on what I've observed.

[@TheReclusiveTenor]

Click on the CC. The subtitles show up.

[@TheReclusiveTenor]

@@pheebsdazon3469 The subtitles are there, just not embedded. Click on the CC and it should show.

[@rinad4590]

I can see and feel their pride in what they do and their product, amazing to witness, thanks for this story

[@MJ-fo8ww]

Ang sipag ni kuya and he’s so humble. God bless u more.

[@marymoore1266]

Sarap talaga ang mga pagkaing pilipino. Well done po sa inyong lahat. Kitang kita na hardworking po kayo. May God bless you all!

[@andrewavo2723]

SO WHOLESOME!!! This is what I've always wanted to do and I'm a very proud that you guys are not only doing it but doing it so well. SALAMAT.

[@rubyellaine5417]

Nakakaproud ❤️ pinoy story, pride of pinoy❤️

[@nanettemiller4853]

You do what you love and good things come out of it! All these people do their best for the food they sell! That’s the reward! People like it as well! 👍👍👍👍

[@fitzgeraldgerundio8123]

More content po na ganito. Nakakataba ng puso. Napapasaya nyo po mga tao. Napapaiyak ako potek. Ganda ng stories nila. Simple is best ika nga nila❤

[@danielmatabuena8011]

Grabe, ang heartwarming. Kitang kita mo rin talaga na gusto at may pag mamahal sila sa ginagawa nila. 🫶🏻

[@doodskie999]

Saludo ako sa mga ganitong tao, di sinisisi ang gobyerno sa kahirapan, or gumagawa ng illegal or inaapakan ang ibang tao para mgka pera. Sikap at kayod lng

[@tindavid5338]

Humility is in loving what you do. Ang saya nila pagmasdan. Nakakataba ng puso gaano nila mahalin ang kabuhayan nila. Nakakabuhay. 🥰

[@Bryle_]

Lumpia is my favorite especially lumpiang toge/gulay.

[@ravmi449]

[@annechikara6686]

Sana meron din tayong kainan ng mga street food na masasarap at pinag sama sa iisang lugar na malinis parang sa thailand

[@cld841]

i just love when people love what they're doing and it really shows to the success of their businesses

[@lizacarvajal24]

May mga tao talaga na magaling ang kamay sa pagluluto kahit napaka simple lang na rekado napapasarap nila.

[@marielveloso_syd]

Their stories are so heartwarming 🥹

[@leandrolatina8271]

Yung lumpiang ubod vendor, tagos sa puso yung mga sinasabi nya, very humble. Na acknowledge din nya si GOD na provider nya. Pero lahat naman sila napaka humble, kaya siguro sila umuunlad.

[@karlivanr]

Maraming maraming salamat po sa inyong mga street food vendors hahaha napupuno niyo tiyan namin kahit mura ang pagkain niyo, malaki tulong sa mga studyantend tag-tipid dati kagaya ko

[@karren1977]

Maganda talaga itutulong ng social media or youtube , tiktok napropromote ang small business katulad nila 👏👏

[@rmloratricl1080]

Everybody calls this banana snack "turon". I remember growing up in Batangas we called it "sagimis". Turon was a kind of candy that w nyoas chewy. Salamat po sa vlog nyo FEATR! Keep on vlogging!

[@CarlZeiss13]

I hope they instill this mindset to their children. It's so good to see the next generation with their heart and mindset.

[@piscean-acts]

Salute to these families for their hardwork and dedication.Just make sure to wear their facemasks while preparing any food.

[@wdelacruzjr712]

Really enjoy this channel because I get to learn a lot of my parents native country Philippines. Really wish that you would put subtitles in English since I unfortunately didn’t learn how to speak or understand Tagalog. 🤞I also try to put on the captions but it’s not available. I believe it will also benefit more people since I truly believe Filipinos aren’t the only people watching this channel. Thanks.

[@lay-2356]

captions are available now

[@pch1147]

Thank you very much Erwan for the great podcast. Great to see the easiness of making the wraps.
