Lumpia (Chinese: 潤餅; pinyin: Rùn bǐng) are various types of spring rolls from China, Indonesia,[1] and the Philippines.[2] Lumpias are made of thin paper-like or crepe-like pastry skin called "lumpia wrapper" enveloping savory or sweet fillings.[3] It is often served as an appetizer or snack, and might be served deep-fried or fresh (unfried). Lumpia are Indonesian and Filipino adaptations of the Fujianese rùnbǐng and Teochew popiah, usually consumed during Qingming Festival.[4][5]

In Indonesia, lumpia has become a favorite snack,[6] and is known as a street hawker food in the country.[7] Lumpia was introduced by Chinese settlers to Indonesia during colonial times possibly in the 19th century.[8]

In the Philippines, lumpia is one of the most common dishes served in gatherings and celebrations.[9]

In the Netherlands, Belgium and Suriname,[10] it is spelled loempia, the old Indonesian spelling, which has also become the generic name for "spring roll" in Dutch.[6]
