My wife's cousin, who is a 1st generation Philippine immigrant, makes these.
They're good, but if you fry them you should eat them hot. Don't let them sit around. Sounds like Marilyn wouldn't have that issue at all! ;~>
I'm going to try these baked. I bet they're delicious without all the extra oil!
Oh, and just so you know, they may make your hips lumpy, but they are pronounced, "LOOM - pee - ah".
