The busiest city I know
in the Philippines is Manila City. Roads are clogged with jeepneys, the noise
pollution is like a rock music to your ears, and the people are scattered just
anywhere you look. Speaking of which, my cousin, Charie Balingit, and I were
strolling along Quiapo in Raon when we spotted a stall with people lining-up
outside it. At first, I was like, “Remittance Center ba ito?” Because the signage in
The long line of people
was an eyebrow raising view for some, yes, a lot were already complaining about
the slow moving of the line, even comparing it to lines in getting an NBI
Clearance and even NFA rice, but it has a positive side after all, you get to
meet other people, talk to talk, share about favorite food, and even speak
about how special this lumpiang sariwa
that made a lot of people wait patiently. Also, suggestions for Globe Lumpia House that they should add
staffs for faster production and yet open a hotline for customers so they could
pre-order. Because to tell you honestly, these people were not buying one or
two of these famous chow but 10 to 20, one lady was even ordering 50 pieces.
So, the suggestions of customers must really be taken in consideration. I even
joked about opening my own branch of the store outside my house. So, people
would have choices.
It was one long hour
after the special lumpiang sariwa
landed on our hands. The long wait was over! As soon as I got home, I
immediately threw it on a plate and judged why people were getting crazy about
it. The taste of the sauce was both sugary and salty. The lumpia itself was
garlicky and sweet. The veggies in it were crunchy to the max. It felt like
eating chips. And overall taste was phenomenal! It was really worth the wait. I
would truly line-up for another taste of that exceptional food. I fell in love
with it. Surely, it depicted the saying, “true love waits.”
