Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort continues to evolve and change with new and exciting locations that are about to open or have recently opened, including Happy Ice.
In a post shared on the gobigboi Instagram page, Big Boi Lumpia Co is joining Downtown Disney soon, as Chef Barb brings her famous lumpia to The Happiest Place on Earth. Classic savory and sweet flavors will be served with their signature dipping sauces.
The Big Boi Lumpia website gives a bit of history about the founding. After establishing B Sweet, her catering company, dessert trucks and dessert bar, Chef Barb Batiste is FINALLY bringing her savory cooking to the masses. Her first focus… Filipino food! Chef Barb has been making Filipino food with her mom, aunt, and grandma since she was a little girl. The Big Boi menu features Chef Barb’s versions of Filipino classic recipes and her childhood favorites.
Filipino cuisine is a rising star in the food world, but the question still lingers: What exactly is it? The dishes draw inspiration from the Spanish culture. The typically sweet, salty, and sour ingredients come together to accommodate nearly every palate. It is so hard to describe the cuisine with just one dish since it is so diverse, but no list of Filipino food would be complete without Adobo, the national dish of the Philippines.
If you have been to Chef Barb’s B Sweet Dessert Bar, then you know how much she loves her dad and honors his memory. His name was Angel, but he was fondly nicknamed Boi. Funny enough, MANY Filipino families have a Tito Boi, Lolo Boi, or simply a Boi. So to pay homage to her father and all the other Bois out there, we chose Big Boi as the name of the restaurant. If you look closely at the seal, you will see that it is 2 upper case letter B’s that are entangled to create a heart. The 2 B’s represent Big Boi, Barb Batiste, and the unwavering love.
The team at Big Boi Lumpia is excited to feed guests at the Disneyland Resort.
Stay tuned to Daps Magic for more information regarding updates and details about the new cart location, which will be announced soon.
