Cheap Birthday Celebration For My Hubby At The Globe Lumpia House



Since my hubby and I have little money to spend, we celebrated his birthday with this theme: PANGMA-JIRPS NA BERTDERET.
We went to Globe Lumpia House in Quiapo to treat ourselves with their very famous Lumpiang Sariwa.
I was expecting that the place will be crowded, since it was a Saturday.
The lumpia house has been there since 1957, and for some reasons, they never opened
a branch and the place was never expanded.





From one of the blog entries about this place
Globe Lumpia House started with a small kiosk inside the Globe Theater where movie-goers were their primary customers. The restaurant still occupies the same spot at the old Globe Theater entrance even though the theater itself has been long gone. Globe Lumpia House is small and can only accommodate 20 people at a time and the star of the menu is Fresh Lumpia, Empanada, bottled water and soft-drinks.

During the feast of the Black Nazarene, the restaurant would open at two o’clock in the morning to serve the beginning of a swelling number of pilgrims. Also of interest, according to Jenny, the owner's daughter, some of their loyal customers also include a number of film and TV personalites (from Dolphy to Cesar Montano); stopping by every now and then to delight on their fresh lumpia.

Nonetheless, with or without the presence of these celebrities, prepare yourself to wait for a few minutes before getting seated, because this restaurant is teeming with customers throughout the day.
Products:Globe also serves Chicken Empanada and Soda
