Masarap Lumpia

10/01/2026

Masarap Lumpia has been “Bringing the Lumpia” to Ventura County since November 2009, but honestly, I come from a family that has been food producers for decades & more like a whole century!!!

My Lolo, Philip C. Llanos came from Cebu City to California in 1923 & he was not only a vet in the US Army, he was a farm worker.

When he retired he decided to start raising pigs & sold lechon in the late 1960’s until the 1980’s when I was a little girl.

And in order to raise us herself, my mother, Edita Llanos Masaya, stayed home & made Filipino food quick & easy for her community.

She offered a plethora of classic Filipino dishes & here is just a short list of her offerings…

Adobo (chicken or pork)
Apretada
Arroz Caldo
Caldareta
Embotido
Empanadas
Escabetche
Lechon Kawali
Lumpia
Menudo
Pancit
Relleñong Bangus
Tinola
Sarciado
Siopao
Tinapa

Bibinka
Bitso Bitso
Buche/Buchi
Carioka
Cassava
Cuchinta
P**o
Suman
Taho

And so many more that I’m forgetting.

My mother’s business was licensed before many of the Filipino ladies in the area ever sold Filipino food.

My Mom was not only an AMAZING cook, she was a straight up HUSTLER!!!

And although she could have easily worked as a psychic like my Lola, she used alchemy in her food instead.

She was by far one of her most well known caterers in Ventura County & to this day, even though she has been gone since Dec. 2008, if I meet an old school Filipino in the area, they’ll ask, “Anak ba iko ni Edita at Nilo?” & when I say yes to confirm, they’ll share all the beloved dishes they have had of hers.

Although my business is DRASTICALLY different than my mother’s, the intention is still the same… food made with love & alchemy.

Pull up a chair, you’re always welcome at our table!

9/11 is a day I will never forget.

I was 22 years old & I was living in Santa Barbara. At the time, I was the office manager & professional match maker to a dating service called Central Coast Introductions. I usually was the first person in the office, so I’m the one that opens it for the day.

I had just taken a shower & was in my room getting ready for work. As I was getting dressed, I remember having the TV on.

I typically watch the news while I got ready.

What I saw happen on live television was so shocking to me. I felt like I was in a dream. I had to look again at the TV and it said live so I knew what I was looking at was happening in real time.

The shock, the horror and the devastation I felt in that moment was something I’ve never felt since.

That day & the day afterwards shook me to my core, and it made me feel less secure as an American than I ever have, at that point.

For once, it was a real possibility that war could happen on modern day, American soil.

So when my husband and I went to New York 12 years ago, he asked me what things I wanted to see and explore. I told him I wanted to go to the site of where the Twin Towers were & where 9/11 happened.

I wanted to pay my respects & honor those whose lives were taken that day.

When I was there, I could feel a lot. I could feel so much spirit I could feel the souls of the people who have been departed.

My face here is really awkward here because I didn’t want to smile. I was happy to be in New York City, but I wasn’t happy in like a traditional way. It was very mixed emotions that I was feeling.

I THINK I HAVE CRACKED THE CODE TO GETTING A GOOD NIGHTS REST DURING PERIMENOPAUSE!!!

I wanted to share this on this page, just because so many of my clients are women going through a certain phase in life & I thought this could help.

My routine may not help everyone, but it has helped me tremendously, so this is my disclaimer, and it’s really worth considering.

1.) Avoid caffeine - I have been drinking tea with zero caffeine.

Mostly, the teas I consume are hibiscus & hibiscus blends that contain citrus and/or ginger.

I’ve made my very own Wellness Tea Blends thru Masarap Lumpia.

If you are interested, please let me know. My tea blends & ginger syrups cost $10 - $15.

2.) Avoiding alcohol - it’s a big PM trigger.

3.) Avoiding refined sugar… I use dates, honey or agave to sweeten food, drinks & desserts.

4.) Drink plenty of water - 1/2 the amount of ounces of your body weight. So if you weight 100 lbs, drink 50 oz of water.

5.) Eating nuts/seeds that are high in magnesium. On a day-to-day basis, most people are not consuming enough magnesium to help support sleep. 

6.) THC/CBD Gummy by no later than 8 PM.

7.) Magnesium Butter/Balm rubbed on my back, arms & shoulders.

This routine guarantees me at least 6 hours of sleep. On good nights 8 + hours!!!

Btw, this Magnesium Body Balm is one of my first products I’m rolling out from my new business, Palm & Spirit.

I created this for my personal night time routine.

I find having a solid night time ritual has helped in ways I can’t even express.

Take care of yourselves, Ladies!

I HAVE NEVER BEEN PROUDER TO BE A CALIFORNIAN THAN I AM TODAY!!!

I LOVE MY BEAUTIFUL STATE!

My Family has a long history here & that legacy of working in food starts with the Farming Communities in California.

We have the Pacific Ocean on one side & mountains in another, we have lush & fertile farm lands, diverse fauna, flora, industries & culture.

There is no place like it & we have the top 5th largest economy in the World, aside from the USA, & the combination of that is so irresistible that even the staunchest of people have a hard time leaving.

I’m so proud to be a Californian & because of California, maybe I can become proud of the United States again & not AMERIKKKA as it is.

As a business owner, it’s become harder to grow a business when tariffs made rising costs rise more. And because I am a thoughtful & caring citizen of the World, decisions I make are not just based on where I’m physically located, I have a global mindset.

I’m THRILLED everyone showed up & voted yesterday, but our work is not done. I hope you consider that when you vote again in the next elections.

As a person that loves & is interested in World history, consider how certain choices in the past have turned out & how they will turn out again if you never learned the first lesson.

Please know that the struggles we have, we can take on together & eliminate certain issues when we think clearly about who can create a solution to those problems, while also voting-in, those that do not create more problems for us.

CALIFORNIA KNOWS HOW TO PARTY, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY WE KNOW HOW TO VOTE!!!
