Growing up in Batangas, I am a sucker for lomi. And not just lomi — Batangas lomi. While most of my friends are disgusted by the super thick sauce that devours the egg noodles, I am all for it! I have tried various versions of lomi in many parts of the country but I always come back to the rich recipe that the Banguenos have perfected. If you’ve been to Batangas, you might have already noticed the many “lomi houses” that abound along the main roads, a testament to just how obsessed we are with this dish. Of course, the taste varies from one restaurant to another but the basic recipe remains the same.
Lomi King is probably the most popular noodle restaurant in Lipa City. While their specialty has always been pancit lomi, they also serve a wide variety of noodle dishes. Don’t be fooled by the prices. Yes, they’re unbelievably cheap (average price of a dish is P69) but the serving is humongous!
Their lomi, as expected, is phenomenal. Its noodles are so tender and sauce so rich. There were also generous amount of tapa, chicharon and egg. In true Batangueno fashion, I made a mixture of calamansi juice, soy sauce, and chili pepper in one saucer and slowly added a teaspoon of it to my lomi every time I would have a spoonful of the dish. Their recipe is really flavorful with just the right combination of salty and the egg taste.
