Stop giving credit to Shanghai for food we invented.
I have a proposition... lets change Lumpia Shanghai and Shanghai Fried Rice to
"Lumpia Binondo" and "Binondo Fried Rice." it sounds great and it gives credit to the "Filipino Chinese"
in the Philippines instead of to China. To me it seem more proper and gives full respects to the Filipino origin.
Binondo is Chinatown in Manila, Philippines.

Lumpia Shanghai and Shanghai Fried Rice in the media.
i've come up with this conclusion.
since if we can't rename the shanghai lumpia its better that we just keep it that way since we are all used to it. (if we can change it it'll be great!)
and treat it like the French Fry. the french fry wasn't invented by the French it was invent by the Belgiums the name just stuck with it. we can treat the lumpiang shanghai the same way but just let people know it originated from the philippines.
