Liam's Lomi House: Batangas' Best Lomi and More for Less than 100 Pesos (Lipa City Batangas)

I know this sounds cliche.  But really, my apprenticeship is one of the most transformative phase in my life.  I have never imagined a workplace filled with kind-hearted, hard-working and jolly bunch.
Engaging in public service also made me realize how fortunate I was in life.   The apprenticeship program experience alone was a big blessing for me.  Yet, it got even better when I was nvited to join their summer getaway.  One of my mentor is a local of Lipa City Batangas so he brought us to his favorite food place called Liam's Lomi House.  Liam's has won several awards for their lomi.

It has a sign but the road side.  But, you have to go in further inside the street to reach the actual establishment.

It was a simple but already modern structure with many seating capacity.  There's a lot of parking spaces too. 

For such a conspicuous and humble place, I honestly didn't expect it to be full.  It was not even meal hours when we dropped by as we came at around 3 pm.  They adopted a pay as you order system so you have to order by the counter.  The place had a high ceiling so despite lacking air-conditioning, it was cool enough for me.

There was also a barbecue stall outside with its own signage "Liam's Special BBQ" but I didn't get to try it.  Because we were already about to leave when they started making preparations.

I loved the idea that we have to eat on a banana leaf because it felt more native.

Food
My mentors are so kind to treat me and my apprentice-mates.  They also knew I do some food blogging so they didn't touch the food until I got a shot.  Aren't they the most awesome mentors ever? 

Noodles

♥ Lomi Special (50 php)

As the name implied, their best-seller is their lomi.  I was so thrilled when our Lomi Special arrived.  It was a big bowl filled with lots of topping like pork meat, pork liver, fish ball and kikiam.  Of course, it was very flavorful and the thick noodles has a nice firm, soft and slightly chewy texture too.


Soup

♥ Chopsuey (110 php)

I'm a veggie lover so I was happy to hear that they ordered the Chopsuey.  Their version is unconventional.  It is essential the traditional chopsuey vegetable ingredients with a more soupy-base and loaded with special toppings that were similar to the Lomi Special (i.e. pork meat, pork liver, fish ball and kikiam).  I don't usually appreciate the chopsuey.  But, this one I loved!

Short Orders (Good for 3)

♥ Fried Chicken (130 php)

The Fried Chicken has a different cooking technique to it that makes it distinguishes it from the usual American or Filipino-style.  It was well-marinated and coated in crispy starch similar to the Taiwanese chicken chops.  This is definitely worth a try!

Sisig (130 php)

Last, but certainly not the least, is the Sisig.  While I prefer the sisig without the mayonnaise, I found this one quite enticing. 

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
For a hearty meal with any group,Liam's Lomi House is a great stop!  The best part is, is that a meal will cost you less than 100 pesos.  This is one food discovery that I am very grateful for.  And, the experience and the company made it even more unforgettable.
