Why Retire in the Philippines/Marinduque Vacations: Lumpia Ko-Filipino-Asian Eatery and Boba Shop Near Me

Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

Lumpia Ko-Filipino-Asian Eatery and Boba Shop Near Me

Last week I just Learn from Doordash of this Hole-in-Wall Filipino-Asian Eatery and Boba Shop Near Me

Discover Us in Antelope, CA-From the Lumpia Ko website

"We are a fun and hip Filipino-Asian fusion eats and boba shop taking on a fresh approach to combine hand-rolled Filipino LUMPIA along with our new spin on Filipino-style brunch dishes called SILOG. We will also be introducing rotating Asian fusion and Filipino dishes throughout our menu. To top it all off, we have created a selection of BOBA FLOATS that take milk and fruit teas to the next level".

We pride ourselves in the creation of hand-rolled Lumpias rolled daily and introducing Silogs to the food scene in Sacramento. By ‘silog’ we mean a variety of Filipino/Asian fusion inspired proteins served over a bed of housemade garlic rice and a duo of fried eggs. Our protein options for our Silogs are: Longanisa (Filipino style sausages), Tocino (pork slices in sweet-garlic glaze), SPAM, Korean insipred marinated steak, and Crispy Pork Belly (pork belly slices served with savory lechon sauce). We are excited to showcase rotating dishes in our menu that are sure to take our guests on a culinary journey through Asian-fusion dishes and Filipino dishes alike.

Lumpia Ko is the to-go spot for a delicious culinary experience focused on Filipino-Asian fusion dishes (especially Lumpias) and boba specialty drinks with service that shows the Filipino hospitality at heart. We want every guest to feel the warmness of being welcomed into a Filipino home as well as enjoy the food and drinks that we have to offer".

Halo-Halo-A Filipino Concoction- One has to try, if this is the first time you heard of it.(I bet you are a non-Pinoy if this is the first time you heard of Halo Halo)

Overall average rating- is 3.5 out of 5 based on 69 reviews. The ratings showed the waiting line is too long at times due to under staffing and the place has only 4 tables for indoor dining. So order on line( pick up) or via Doordash delivery service. The food appeared to be good but on the pricey side- $$.

Personal Review: I ordered the Longsilog. I would rate it 3.5 out of 5. The Pinoy sausage was perfectly cook and sweet. The garlic fried rice was a little oily and needed more garlic. There is an option to substitute fried rice with just steamed rice and scramble eggs instead of over-easy fried. I will order again from Lumpia Ko with their other dishes in the Menu. The dish portion was good for 2.

Fruit Trees in the Gardens of Chateau Du Mer

The Mango Tree-I have three varieties in my Garden-The Indian, Guimaras and Carabao Mangoes My caretaker/gardener informed me last month that due to the El Nino drought in Marinduque, two of my Durian trees died in spite of his vigilant watering. One of the tree was attacked by insects that looks like a big fly but yellowish in color that sucks the sap of the seedling. The roots of the other tree was attacked by ants residing in the soil. However, my other fruit trees, the rambutans( 2), the lanzones(2) and the jack fruits ( 2) trees are doing well. The above eight fruit trees were given to me by Retired General Recaredo Sarmiento of Boac and Lucena., about three years ago. General Sarmiento is the “atid” of my wife. “Atid” is the colloquial term for brother. Evidently, Macrine's father, the late Bernardo Jambalos was the Godfather of General Sarmiento during his baptism and comfirmation. Gen Sarmiento's hobby is orchard planting, reforestation and farming. The other fruit trees in my garden are guayabanos, cashew, avocados, starapples, duhats, ates, guavas, mangoes( 3 varieties) and papayas as well as several varieties of bananas . Of the above fruit trees, my favorite is the guayabanos, also known as soursop tree known for its anti-tumor and anti-cancer properties . The following are photos of the fruit trees. The Durian photo is from the web. Note that it almost look like a jack fruit tree, except that the leaves are bigger and shiny. My desire is to have a passion fruit tree in the near future. You are welcome to visit my orchard and flower gardens any time, if perchance you are in the vicinity of The Chateau Du Mer Beach Resort and Conference Center.
