Today we are flying to Pandora – The World of Avatar to try some delicious Pongu Lumpia!
This tasty dessert that can be found at Pongu Pongu at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a must have during your visit to the park. Pongu Lumpia is inspired by a spring roll of Chinese origin, commonly found as a popular street food snack in Indonesia and the Philippines, and is traditionally a mixture of savory vegetables and chopped meat filling rolled in a spring roll wrapper.
