TikTok content creator Abi Marquez, dubbed the internet's "lumpia queen," is living every foodie’s dream. In a recently uploaded video of her making Crab Cake Lumpia, her cooking prowess earned a comment from British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.

“But can you do it with a Beef Wellington???” dared the Michelin-starred cook under Abi’s video. The reel has since garnered over three million views in just two days since it was posted.
FYI, Beef Wellington is an English steak dish popularized by Ramsay. Notoriously tricky to replicate, it’s made of beef tenderloin wrapped in layers of pâté, duxelles (a finely chopped mushroom mixture), parma ham, and puff pastry. Pinoys can get a taste of it at the Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill at Newport World Resorts, Pasay City for P3,888.
An hour after Ramsay posted his commet, Abi went on Facebook to share her disbelief and excitement. She wrote, “WE FREAKIN DID IT GUYS!!!!!!! LUMPIA WORLD DOMINATION ANONG IREREPLY KO HUHUHU”.
In turn, her followers flooded the comments, including praises from local personalities like Inka Magnaye and Moonstar88. “I followed you pretty early on and I knew immediately that you’d track bc ur genuine excitement for food really shone thru,” said Inka.
Meanwhile, others sounded off suggestions for Abi’s possible answer to Ramsay’s challenge. “I-reply mo: Hold my Banana Ketchup,” commented a Facebook user. Another said, “Reply mo po ‘itabi mo gordon ako na.’” Check out more internet reactions below!
Ramsay is set to visit the Philippines this month. His agenda includes stopping by his first restaurant in the country and hosting an invite-only event at the Newport Performing Arts Theater.
