SM Eats | Fried Gyōza

Fried Gyōza is a Japansese variant of a Chinese Dumpling known as Jiaozi, which has become a staple favourite dish all over Asia. Its popularity has produced variations and interpretations of other countries that included Japan as mentioned, which in time became a part of a menu in some food establishments in the Philippines. With SM Market’s Save More continuous expansion and evolution in making their in-house rice meals that would include a Gyōza dish that would be either served for dine-in or by take away was included in their menu. Though most would pay for a Veggie Lumpia or a Turon snack, this was surprisingly popular to some who have no time to look for a dish elsewhere. But of course you got to try and give your own experience having it.

SM Eats | Vegetable Lumpia

Sometimes the best compliment to your rice is an appetizer in the form of the Vegetable Lumpia (Lumpiang Gulay), which is mostly a home cooked dish and sometimes offered in local food stalls in the Philippines. It can be just consumed as is without rice, which is ‘not normal’ to locals because they always have it for lunch. There are no ‘branded’ or even a convienient store that offers it in their menu, but can only found in local eateries or food stalls. But Save More Supermarket and other grocery affiliate under the SM sub-brand made their own food offerings in the form of SM Eats. It is their in-house food stall that was originally just a food stand that only selling ‘Turon,’ also known as Banana Lumpia that became part of their grocery.
