Fresh Lumpia by Tita Lucy Que
It’s a special recipe which she took with her from China and she’s the only one that knows it ( not even her kids) . Definitely made with love and all her kids look forward to this. I am lucky I got to try it 🙂
When it comes down to it, the houses we live in say a lot about who we are, and how we choose to live our lives. The beauty that surrounds us is sometimes reflected in our own hearts. So one must wonder what kind of imagination the people that built these cottages have, because they all seem to have been taken from some fantasy land and brought into our reality. I wouldn’t mind spending some time in any of these.
