Does Papa P have a point when he says Lumpiang togue is better than Lumpiang shanghai?
Lumpiang shanghai is one of the popular dishes in every handaan. If you are me I always grab a lot of lumpia and sometimes take it out with me. There are a lot of lumpia you can find there, pork, beef, chicken, fish and vegetables. It is for everyone.
However, last week, it became apparent that lumpiang Shanghai might not hold the top lumpia spot alone. Online users are now supporting veteran actor Piolo Pascual in his claim that lumpiang togue is superior to lumpiang Shanghai.
Currently, we are even debating the validity of our lumpia beliefs (and rankings).
Lumpiang Togue Versus Lumpiang Shanghai: Their Differences
Although these two varieties of lumpia are both fried spring rolls, the filling is the primary distinction between them. Lumpiang Shanghai is typically filled with seasoned minced pork (which is occasionally combined with shrimp), onions, carrots, and other chopped vegetables.
Lumpiang togue, on the other hand, is primarily made up of togue or beansprouts that have been sauteed along with garlic, onions, carrots, singkamas or jicama, cabbage, and other vegetables. While lumpiang togue is typically served with a spiced vinegar dip that also contains minced garlic and onions, lumpiang Shanghai is also typically served with ketchup.
Piolo Pascual, better known as "Papa P" by his followers, wrote in his post that "LUMPIANG TOGE IS BETTER THAN LUMPIANG SHANGHAI.???? FIGHT ME!" Despite the forceful (and literal) fighting language he employed, a lot of his admirers actually concurred:
