From a dare to challenge completed! Gordon Ramsay gets a taste of “Beef Wellington Lumpia”.
“Lumpia Queen” completes the “Beef Wellington Lumpia” challenge and Gordon Ramsay has this reaction to it.
“Lumpia” is part of Filipino culture and surely, you have come across the content of Abi Marquez, the food content creator who loves to make everything wrapped in lumpia wrapper. Dishes like s’mores, buko pandan, popcorn kernels, California maki, pizza, and cheeseburgers have their lumpia version already, and even the well-loved pork sinigang!
Abi rose to fame for experimenting with using lumpia wrappers, and her viewers surely loved her videos. Among her viral videos is her Jollibee-inspired peach mango pie and this is one of her most-viewed TikTok videos. The pandemic paved the way for her to enter food content creation and recently, one big personality in the food industry noticed her videos.
World-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay is here in the Philippines and saw Marquez’s videos experimenting with different foods with lumpia wrappers. He challenged the Lumpia Queen to do it with his famous beef wellington and the challenge was accepted.
Internet’s “Lumpia Queen”, in a new video, reinvented the beloved culinary classic. Of course, Filipino touches and additions are not missed. In a video, Abi showed her method from dicing her aromatics to making her own savory crepes.
After wrapping everything in one roll, she went to his restaurant to fry it with the help of a friend. She presented it to Ramsay and the British chef quipped after a bite, “I’m really sorry but I don’t like it, I f***** love it!” and added, “May I have some more please?”

Meanwhile, The Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill opened in Manila on August 31, 2024, at the Newport World Resorts in Pasay. Accordingly, his restaurant in the Philippines “serves a curated menu which includes the signature Beef Wellington, an eclectic wine list, and house-crafted cocktails.”
