Lumpia World! yet another food truck!

I really should just name this the Food Truck blog. I can't help it, I am fascinated with them.  Why? The are typically over priced and over hyped.  But here is the reason, because these are small, locally owned and operated trucks, which means that what is coming out is the best they can do. Restaurants can be hit and miss as different people prepare the food each day.  I truly appreciate the quality and consistency of these food trucks. The price is not always good though!

Last week I discovered a new truck, Lumpia World. I  had to check it out. I ate a lot of Phillipine food as a kid, loved Lumpia and Pork Adobo.  But, how can you have vegetarian Phillipine food? My experience in Southcenter at the Seafood Market a few weeks ago was confirmation that its Pork, Pork and more Pork! The first thing on the buffet is a whole roasted pig! head and all.

I looked over this Lumpia World truck with optimistic skepticism.   Sure enough, they offer Vegetarian Pancit and Vegetarian Lumpia! 

Today I bit. I have a full lunch in the kitchen here, but I had to take a look and sure enough they offer a side of Pancit for $4.00.  This is always a complaint of mine, no smaller portions or sides. Its a big ol entree or nothing. 

I ordered the Pancit and asked about the Lumpia.  The menu made it sound like it had sweet potato in it, but not the case. They have a sweet potato  lumpia for dessert.

well, I wouldn't have put down my bowl and started typing if it wasn't FANTASTIC!  I will probably end up going here tomorrow for the Veggie Pancit and Lumpia combo. $8.50

Who needs pork?  Not me. And not Lumpia World although they do have pork. Last friday Veggie Pancit was sold out!
