Unique Filipino street food bites like lumpia and pancit
"Never underestimate the power of a pork-and-dairy duo. Head to this Filipino stand for pineapple Dole Whip and chicken Shanghai lumpia—we’d happily trek from the nosebleeds at one end of Oracle to the other just to get them. The lumpia’s shell is crispy and manages to soak up the entire plastic container of sweet chili sauce every time. The tangy Dole Whip makes for a dairy-free dessert that we much prefer to regular soft serve." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
"Known for its fried goods, this vendor's standout in the coverage is a soft-serve dessert available in pineapple or strawberry calamansi that is both vegan and gluten-free; the business is noted as being run in part by Bay Area rapper E-40." - Paolo Bicchieri
"This popular pop-up (co-owned by legendary East Bay rapper E-40) has moved from downtown Oakland and taken up residence at Brooklyn Basin at the 9th Avenue Terminal. Customers can expect to find a variety of lumpia with nontraditional fillings like bacon cheeseburger and even beef quesabirria, as well as nontraditional-traditional fillings like Bicol express and chicken tinola." - Dianne de Guzman
"The lumpia-focused comfort-food brand closed its original 24th Street location on August 9 to prepare for a move to Brooklyn Basin at 288 Ninth Avenue in Oakland, with the grand opening date to be shared on Instagram." - Paolo Bicchieri
"The halo-halo dessert lumpia special (banana, coconut jelly, red bean, jackfruit) played like a turbocharged turon: churro-ized exterior, cups of ube custard and Rice Krispies on the side, and a delightful mix of textures and Filipino flavors that worked beautifully." - Lauren Saria
