Masayang Biyernes! Happy Friday!
Shameless Buns have a special place in our hearts. Hubby and I were born and raised in the Philippines, so a Filipino jeepney food truck specializing in flavours we are familiar with makes Shameless Buns special.
Filipino Spaghetti Lumpia
I saw the Spaghetti Lumpia in an Instagram video, and I couldn't believe/understand what I just saw. But, I knew I had to try it the next time I order from Shameless Buns.
Filipino-style spaghetti is sweet with ground meat, while lumpia is Filipino spring roll. Both are a staple in Filipino kids' birthday parties. However, I never thought of combining it this way! Instead, they serve a giant burrito-like spring roll with spaghetti inside. The spaghetti is delicious, and I'll be happy to eat it as is, but the lumpia wrap provides crunch.

Sir Spam A-Lot combo with Palabok Fries
The sandwich is, for me, a standard fair of spam sandwiches inside pandesal (Filipino brioche bun). It's something we occasionally eat for snacks after school. If you like spam, then this is worth the try.
I want to focus on the Palabok Fries. Their menu description says, "Think 'BBQ' Chips." It doesn't taste like barbeque. However, it does taste like palabok. Background: Palabok is a noodle dish in the Philippines. I am having a hard time describing its flavour. It's salty and a bit tangy, usually creamy from the sauce. Their Palabok Fries hit the flavour profile of a palabok, but you may not understand the flavour if you haven't had palabok in the past.

Overall, I will still recommend the Signature Sinigang Fries.
