Hi David, the LUMPIA ROLL you ate, on the sign board menu in Chinese character, is the same as PO-PIAH, LUM PIA (pia or piah means same thing flat pan cake, PO means or translate as Thin ). When you were in Singapore, you went to Chinatown complex market hawker centre on 2nd floor there 2 famous stall selling this POPIAH, it’s actually a HOKKIEN OR PERANAKAN NONYA ORIGINS…with history from Fujian China, when Chinese emigrated to Penang and Malacca, later some emigrated here, introduced to Singapore from 1800 to 1950’s, Later was reintroduced into Singapore Hawker Centres in the 70’s. POPIAH is pretty famous or popular stapled in Singapore And Malacca or Penang Malaysia but you missed it . This roll - flat thin pancake is make of flour batter, wrapped fillings : are dry fresh bean sprout, fresh lettuce or fresh Chinese celery, chopped ground peanut, cooked shredded turnips with shredded carrot and small dried shrimps, cooked fresh medium prawns, fried omelette, chopped fresh garlic, fried bean curd cut into small cubes, grinded chillies and black sweet sauce. All wrapped into 1. FYI : You also missed visiting 4 major items. (1). Hawker Chan, Michelin award winning S$5.90 Chicken rice, Roasted Pork Noodle and Prawns Dumpling soup, 3 times you missed it. 1 time when you were at Universal Studio Dinosaur foodcourt where you chose Nasi Lemak, next to stall of Hawker Chan with Michelin Star signage. 2nd time where you were at Fried Seafood Kway Teow, had you walked down the path on the left you would see Hawker Chan. 3rd time, across street from Chinatown Complex Hawker centre on ground floor level, you will see MAIN RESTAURANT HAWKER CHAN at Smith Street selling Michelin Award winning Chicken Rice raved by demised Master Chef Anthony Bourdain, etc. (2)People’s Park Complex is directly across the overhead bridge or via underground Chinatown MRT station from Chinatown Complex Hawker centre. 2nd famous hawker food but mostly brought in from Chinese China nationals set up food eateries from different China Provinces All-in-1 you get real Chinatown cuisine Food from S$1.50 to $20. (3) you went to Chinatown Point Mall, on ground level 5 STEPS AWAY links you to next Singapore very Iconic Hong Lim Complex Hawker Centre, all the Singapore Street foods All-in-1, 3 levels all you can stomach, Singapore😢 Green Book Award Winning Hawker food from 1970’s to 2023!! (4) From Hawker Chan at Smith Street, turned left corner where you showed and said you have some hand wrist green beads, right behind the shops is the very famous Singapore one and only iconic Old School - YUM CHA (means drink tea) DIM SUM Cantonese RESTAURANT on Level 2 Terrace house (where you finger pointed beautiful colourful architecture building. Opens morning 8am to 3pm Dim Dum and Cuisine dishes and from 3pm to 5pm Dim Sum Buffet all types and varieties dumplings, crispy roast meats rolls, buns, etc All you can eat!! (Pls see additional comment in your post Singapore Chinatown, what you missed, also)

There are many kinds of Lumpia in the Philippines. Lumpiang Shanghai - Fried Spring Rolls with ground pork fillings. Lumpiang Toge - Fried Spring Rolls with Vegetable Fillings but the main ingredient is Toge (Sprout beans) Dyanamite - another variant of Fried Spring Rolls with large Green chili as main ingredient with melted Cheese sometimes ground pork is added. Lumpiang Sariwa/Lumpiang Ubod - Fresh Spring Rolls topped with sweet garlic syrup.
