Liam's Lomi, Goto, Tapsilog atbp.

The best lomi for me can be found in the city of Lipa. It's been a while since I have tasted the authentic Batangas Lomi. The last time was with my buddy boy Aldo when we watched the Morales vs Pacquiao 3 fight. Now, his brother owns a restaurant that sells Lomi as one of their specialties. When we were on our way to go to our summer getaway to Laiya, I had another opportunity to eat Lomi for breakfast. Here it is -- Liam's Lomi, Goto, Tapsilog atbp.

As the restaurant name implies we tried Lomi, Goto and Tapsilog. The Goto was a complimentary from my buddy boy Aldo. The first on our order list, chosen by my sister - TAPSILOG!

"Tapsilog" is a tagalog portmanteau for Tapa, Sinangag at Itlog (Beef, Fried Rice, and Egg). If it is in English it could be Befriegg (hehehe!). The tapa was tasty and sweet, you can really taste the marinated beef and I think the sauce made it sweet.

Followed by my girlfriend's pick, GOTO and "monay" (bread)!

A Batangas Goto is different from the traditional goto that we know. This one does not have rice in it. It is some what similar to "camto" or "pares". Its as good as an "ulam"; though my girlfriend ate it like soup. It usually comes with "laman-loob" (includes pig liver, pig intestines), but the one we had has small pork meats in it.

And to top everything off,I had of course the super yummy LOMI!

Batangas Lomi is at its best with a "toyomansi" (soy sauce and calamansi) and chili sauce. Every time you eat it, you take a little sauce in your sauce dish and then mix it altogether. It also serves as a sumptuous dip for your "monay" (bread). Yum! Yum! Yum!

The ambiance of the place is really nice, it really brings you to the country side of the Philippines. The small place is made out of nipa and the chairs and tables were made out of bamboo where the customers can just sit back, relax and enjoy! Four thumbs-up to Liam's!

Ho-ho-holy Cow!!!

As my first entry in this blog, I want to introduce myself as kesongputi. A guy who loves good food, good talks and good PORK CHOPS! (hehehe) I want to introduce photography in my love for food and dining. So here it is, my first entry and the first restaurant that will be talked about is Holy Cow!!! No its not an expression it is a restaurant. An american restaurant that banners there steaks as their main food specialty.

There are perks when you accompany your sister and one of it is to eat a nice food with her expense (hehehe). Thanks sis! We ate at Holy Cow in SM North annex. It was my first time at this restaurant and I was always curious to try the branch they have in Robinson's Galleria. Anyway we had chicken tenders as our starter,

which is not bad and taste good. My sister had the fish and fries and guess what did I have? Me ultimo paborito which is the grilled porkchops. The porkchops were good and a little bit tasty and did satisfy me, but still find Dome's and Tender Bob's grilled porkchop at the top!

The place and ambiance is nice with a little country music going in the background. They also have this nice old looking lamps at the corners of the restaurant and a vintage-like clock (too bad I was not able to capture it) which adds appeal to their ambiance.

Good and fast service considering there are only 4 people who are attending the customers. The theme and mood of the restaurant is somewhat similar to Texas Roadhouse but they do sell cheap meals during mondays to fridays at around 165 pesos, not bad for a semi-fine dining restaurant. If I'm going to rate this restaurant ho-ho-holy cow its 3 out 5 stars!
