Giving In To The Cravings...

The other day, I had a friend on Facebook share pictures of the lumpia she made. In case you don't know what that is, it's similar to an egg roll. So, after drooling over her pics, I suddenly had a huge craving for some. Yes, I could have made them, but I didn't feel like going through all the preparations. You know, like chopping, cooking, and frying!

I'm so glad there is a Filipino market right around the corner, so after church, I stopped over there and indulged in a couple of my faves!

Here is the lumpia! It's all chopped veggies inside, and deep friend in like a won ton wrapper!

 

This is called "turon." This would be considered dessert! Better known as banana lumpia. They drizzled caramel on top! Yum!

And finally, here is another dessert called Kutsinta, which is pronounced "koot-chin-ta." It's hard to describe the texture of this. It's like a combination of jello and custard, and not too sweet. It's wonderful with the shredded coconut on top of it.

I would definitely say it's an acquired taste because I can't really pinpoint what it is similar to! But, trust me, it is good!
