Lumpia are pastries of the Philippines and Indonesia of Chinese origin and are similar to spring rolls. The term lumpia derives from lunpia (traditional Chinese:...) in the Hokkien dialect of Chinese. The recipe, both fried and fresh versions, was brought by the Chinese immigrants from the Fujian province of China to Southeast Asia and became popular where they settled in the Philippines and Indonesia. In the Netherlands, it is spelled loempia which is the old Indonesian spelling for lumpia and has also become the generic name for "spring roll" in Dutch. A variant is the Vietnamese lumpia, wrapped in a thinner piece of pastry, in a size close to a spring roll though the wrapping closes the ends off completely, which is typical for lumpia.

As long as I stay here, bopia as like lumpia is the popular food here in Chiangmai. Not exactly the same, but similiar. Sometimes just different what the inside are. We like to order it in some restaurant here, I like to eat bopia at Chinese restaurant, near Changklan Mosque. That is halal restaurant.

As I made, I just put some tomatoes, and the other vegetables. Just make sure before you put it in, everything is clean. If you wanna put meats inside, for me I think is better if that's well done first, before you put it in. Sometimes some people like to eat something fresh, so not have to fried it first, just covered and eat.
