Abi Marquez, known online as the “Lumpia Queen,” has captured the attention of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, who challenged her to create a Beef Wellington-inspired lumpia.
In a recent TikTok video where Abi wrapped crab cakes in lumpia wrappers, Ramsay commented, “But can you do it with a Beef Wellington???”
Lumpia World Domination
Sharing her excitement on Facebook, Abi posted a screenshot of Ramsay’s comment, exclaiming, “We freakin did it, guys! Lumpia world domination. Anong irereply ko huhuhu [What should I reply, huhuhu]?”
Ramsay’s challenge comes ahead of his upcoming visit to the Philippines this month, where fans will also have the opportunity to meet the chef.
A Culinary Crossover
The Beef Wellington, a signature dish at Ramsay’s Bar & Grill restaurants, is a potential match for Abi’s lumpia innovation, showcasing a fusion of global flavors.
Fans eagerly await Abi’s response and her take on lumpia-fying one of Ramsay’s most iconic dishes.
