We made this recipe during my daughter's 5th birthday. It surprised me when my daughter pick one and eat it. I didn't' expect that she would love this recipe. 

I thought before that this recipe is a Thai spring rolls but my husband told me that this is a Vietnamese spring rolls. When i looked up on Google both recipes have similarities, i think it just have 1 or 2 ingredients that makes the recipe differ from each other, and the sauce also is the only thing that are not the same. But the procedure on how to make the rolls is similar.
