THE LOMI KING OF LIPA BATANGAS PHILIPPINES

[@thepreparedpinoychannel]

My ate who was married to a Lipeño brought me in that panciteria in the 90's. Since then it was one of the dish na talagang ilo-look forward mo whenever you are vacationing. Until i decided to recide here in batangas where i discovered na almost all municipality have their "pambato" with regards to who has the best lomi house. Now i frequent lomi King since i have a daughter studying there in De La Salle and i eat there at least everytime i pick her up from school. There is this some kind of a ritual when eating lomi starting when you order it in the restaurant. They will ask you to be seated, they will hand you condiments and sawsawan ranging from diced onions, toasted garlic, calamansi and sili while the soy sauce bottle are neatly arranged together with the other condiment bottles. Now you will begin the ritual of crushing your sili on a platito then adding some calamansi and toyo and your diced onion and toasted garlic while salivating on the aroma of the lomi being served to you. Thats what makes me come home always. Hopefully you can also feature Gotong Batangas since it also an iconic dish in the province.

[@featrmedia]

Thanks for sharing! Interesting to hear about the ritual of eating lomi. Stay tuned for our goto episode in the future.

[@yowhatsup1006]

In the world full of "kami ang pinakamasarap" and "kami ang original", be like this man. 💯 I like how he conveyed that his father shared the recipe for others to learn without sounding boastful and how he embraces the fact that other lomihan are "upgrading" the dish but beautifully showcased how his version differ. 💯💯💯

Wala talagang tatalo sa loming batangas. Bilang OFW dito sa Japan, lomi talga ang isang pagkain na lagi ko namimiss lalo na yang lomi king sa tapat ng lasalle. Mura na at sobrang sarap. Kaya pala ganun na lang kasarap dahil sa dedication ng may ari at mga tauhan nya. Dbest lomi king. Salute!

that's the original Chinese Kikiam, meatballs ...I love it..... that's similar to those we ate often in Ongpin, Binondo ....super flavorful and lots of rich ingredients in lomi like in famous Chinese restos in Chinatown.....nobody can beat this Chinese style lomi.....it takes a lot of hard work , techniques to do the fresh noodles originated by the Chinese cooks 💗💗💗💗

[@binkybunsssss]

I was born and raised in Batangas and currently living in Manila. It's always nice to see videos featuring places in Batangas. The way we speak is unique and sometimes people from other places would think we're always angry because of the way we talk haha but it's actually part of the way we speak. Great video!

[@gunplacali]

I was born in Laguna and spent my early childhood there. My father is a native here in Batangas, so I can say I have a barako blood in me. It was during my 5th grade when we moved here and one of the things that my new friends introduced me was lomi. It was not in Lipa though, but one of the lomi house herr in the small town of Mataasnakahoy. But boy it blew me away. It became one of my favorites. Even hit a stage in my life where I'm trying every lomi houses in Lipa way before food vlogs or mukbang was a thing. So thankful for this man who started something that has become part of my life, and thank you FEATR for showcasing amazing people like him.

Ito talaga ang tunay na nagmamahal sa kamyang mga kababayan. Di nya pinagdamot ang kaalaman at proud sya sa naabot ng iba at di nya sinabi na ginaya lang sila. The best!

[@miguelguevara1512]

Started eating at Lipa City Panciteria during the early 80's. May mga nagsulputan pa ibang popular lomi houses pero nawala na sila at lalong nag thrive ang lomian nina Kiming. Ngayon everytime I go home to Lipa, I usually drop by Lomi King for my comfort food kasama na wife and kids ko na nagustuhan din nila. Nothing changed, yun pa din lasa ng Lomi nila, masarap. More success to the humble owners and admiring the legacy left by their Dad and family.

[@CedAltamirano]

One Batangueño way of eating lomi after doing the calamansi, toyo and sili ritual is to use a plate. Since the lomi is super hot when served, (and it tastes best when hot!!), you gotta use a plate and get a few spoonful of lomi first. You can blow it to your desired temp for consumption and eat it from the plate. With this, you always have a hot refill of lomi everytime rather than letting it cool down all at once. Also, in doing this, you are preventing the lomi from being 'malabnaw' since Batangas Lomi is known for being super thick ;) P.s. ask for fried garlic bits and onions too! :) Thank you again for featuring Lomi Batangas! 2 of my favorite lomi houses are Lomi King in Lipa City and Lomian sa Baryo in Pangao, Ibaan. :) love both their original recipe kikiams :)

[@lugscogs5976]

Absolute favorite! My parents are from Batangas and whenever we visit their ancestral land, we always stop by hole-in-the-wall lomians. I grew up savoring this dish. I am now based in Singapore and I discovered a similar dish with a similar sounding name as well called Lor Mee. Both have egg noodles and thick gravy. Where lomi is heavy on the pork, lor mee leans on fish. I highly recommend you guys try it yourself when you visit Singapore.

[@lugscogs5976]

Theirs is the best kikiam I've ever tasted! They wrap it in caulfat which makes it more flavorful. Others use tofu skin. This is absolutely delicious!

[@MamitaClaud]

The first time I tried Lomi King was back 😅in the 90s. My friend's dad was an officer at Fernando air base and she brough us there to watch the men in uniform. I loved the lomi instantly and even now my son would take home this as pasalubong for me.

[@featrmedia]

What a great story. We hope you get to have your lomi again soon. Thanks for subscribing!

[@gemini4276]

This is originally a chinese dish. Here in Singapore we call it lor mee. It is very nice especially the sticky sauce with deep fried meatballs. Yum!

[@janerickaminardo3915]

Pag uwi ko sa December, lomi kaagad hahanapin ko. Kahit may mga lomi dito sa Mindanao, iba talaga ang Lomi ng Lipa.

[@archarielcarandang]

I could never forget the first time I ate lomi in Lipa. It’s still very incomparable to other lomi houses.

wow, parang well-known talaga na may mga nag move na Chinese sa Batangas. Ganun din ang lolo ko. They migrated from China to Batangas (1928) pero we had to change our last name at the time (Chua) to a non-Chinese name to establish our business.

Favorite talaga lalo pag maulan. Good thing di nila pinagkait yung recipe ng lomi at tuloyan nagkameron ng iba't ibang gawa ng lomi kung saan-saan na ibat'iba rin ang lasa. Still, wala pa rin makakatalo sa original batangas recipe. Salamat featr for featuring Lomi lalo na ung gawa dine sa batangas

[@maxafrica4780]

Excellent! Thanks Featr! This is a childhood ‘comfort’ food and the place where we frequently go to growing up in Batangas. I remember ordering a bowl of special lomi for just 30 pesos when I was in grade school or high school. Lomi at the Panciteria has many variations but I normally get the special one. I will request the ‘luto sa sili’ where they will saute 2 pieces of siling labuyo with the onion and garlic. This is a very humble place. Lomi with diced onion, calamansi, soy sauce and sili with a side of chicharon and monay on a rainy day - brings me back to the simple joys of living in the province. Excellent feature!

[@vinwarden]

I knew this place from my late father. I always visit here kapag umuuwi ako sa pinas, brings back memory of my father noong dinadala nya ako dito kapag stress ako sa studies. Still the best Lomi sa lahat ng nakainan ko in Batangas.

[@jessicadejesus5983]

FEATR's Batangas food episodes make me want to have a staycation there for a week. Just to taste all the foods that were featured. 😍

[@chrysalizsantamena8915]

Haven’t tried their Lomi yet but will definitely do, soonest! We always frequent a lomian in Pangao whenever we go visit our family in Ibaan. It’s the lomi I grew up to 🤍 Theirs is simple too. Few toppings- liver and kikiam. They have their own recipe of kikiam where in it’s made with veggies and we love theeem! We always request for extra kikiam in our orders because one serving isnt enough! I remember when we were kids, we have a cousin who doesnt eat the kikiams so one of us would lowkey half the lomi with her and get all the kikiam 😆 Haaay, such comforting memories with an equally comforting food 😌 Thanks Featr. for making this vid!

[@CedAltamirano]

Yes the lomian sa Baryo in Pangao, Ibaan! Very simple lomi but definitely less is more! One of the original lomi in Ibaan :)

[@theboredprogrammer1114]

This makes me crave for this at midnight and too bad I'm from Cebu and there's not much high quality lomi places here. Maybe it's a sign to visit more of Luzon?

Lipa Panciteria is so far the most authentic of all the Lomi variations in Batangas. A legit Batangenyo knows that only meat balls, kikiam and liver slices are the only toppings of a perfect lomi. Nothing more nothing else.
