Belle’s Place Restaurant – your Homey Family Restaurant in San Jose, Batangas
Perseverance and success in one’s business enable you to realize your childhood dreams. This is exactly what happened to the Virtucio Family, who with their flourishing poultry business was able to put up a Restaurant in tribute to their eldest sister Ate Belle.
Company
The Restaurant, established in July 28, 2017, is owned by the Virtucio Family of Brgy. Bagong Pook, San Jose, and you will be able to see their family photos displayed inside the establishment. At first they wanted to put up a Lomi House beside their own Auto Shop (the auto shop is being constructed as we speak) but upon seeing the old home and how beautiful it is, they all decided to make it a full-fledged restaurant serving all the food that Filipinos love. You can see the touch of Ate Brenda in the VIP Rooms, and the masculine influence of their Kuyas in the huge tables and chairs in the restaurant.
The Restaurant
Belle’s Place is mainly a Lunch and Dinner Restaurant with several VIP rooms with KTV for your family, barkada and workmates. To date they have served local bank and organizational group meetings, and they all enjoyed the good food and homey atmosphere.

Located in Ayala Highway, the food avenue of Lipa City, Ka Jec’s Bangihan is a grill restaurant with a lot of parking space, cool ambiance, great hangout seats, and an awesome Filipino street food menu.
Their bestseller is the Isaw (or grilled Chicken Intestines). Instead of eating it in noisy, polluted and smelly streetside (with probably unhealthy sauces), you get to enjoy your isaw with your friends seated on picnic chairs and tables with proper edison-bulb lighting listening to a live acoustic band on some days.
Another can’t-miss on the menu is the turon, a flavorful blend of bananas, sesame seeds, butter, and sugar, that will make you forget you had just street food, and will probably make you order some more for take-out.
Ka Jec’s General Manager Ms. Eena Morada was very accommodating and served us the best food that most of their customers like.

HISTORY
Lando’s Eatery and Lomi House started in the garage of the parents of the owner 15 years ago. They served noodles (pansit) and lomi (a filipino dish made with a variety if thick fresh egg noodles of about a quarter of an inch in diameter,soaked in lye water to give it more texture).
Eventually,they moved to national highway of San Antonio San Pascual to cater growing number of customers each day. They added several menu and other variety of pansit in different sizes to serve the request of customers.
For 15 years,it was managed by Ms. Adora Agbay and the late Mr. Rolando Agbay and currently managed and owned by their son Marc Roland Agbay.
Lando’s was named after the late Mr. Rolando Agbay and its success continuous because of the non-comparable taste of pansit and lomi with the others. They have their own recipe and sauces which is combined with 4 different sauces and they are not using monosodium glutamate (vetsin) in any food in their menu. From pansit and lomi they cater ready to eat food due to customer’s request.
Lando’s preserved it’s identity of pansit and lomi for 17 years, this means, the owner is planning of adding branches to reach other customers and enjoy the taste of original lomi and pansit of province of Batangas.
Lando’s were very thankful to the decades of support from loyal customers and promise to continue the service to all of Batangueños. They can assure the customers the consistency of the taste of their pansit and lomi which let them came back.

Vilma’s Lechon is a family run business located in Brgy. Bolbok, Lipa City, with a branch in Darasa, Tanauan City, which provides crispy and delicious Lechong Baboy and Lechong Baka with their signature sauce.
The History
Inspired by the legacy left by their parents, Vilma’s Lechon was conceptualized in the 1970s through the hard works of Mr. Felix Leynes and Mrs. Vilma Leynes. Before putting up the lechon business, Mr. Felix Leynes used to supply pigs to one of the most popular Lechon establishments in Manila where he learned the tricks of the trade, eventually put up his own.
In 1983, Vilma’s Lechon was formally opened to the public. Like any other startups, it was not a smooth sail at first. They had their fair share of non-paying customers and scammers. Nonetheless, through continuous innovations and catching of the trend and staying resilient, the establishment was able to overcome these setbacks.
The Lechon
The secret, as per Vilma’s Lechon, is in the pig and cow itself. Mr. Felix Leynes, up to this day, still personally does the trade and quality control of their primary ingredient.
Procedure
Upon arrival from the city’s slaughterhouse, the carcass is first inspected and goes through secondary cleaning. Then, it is affixed on a steel pole and then stuffed with a mixture of herbs and spices. (They are also open to clients’ special requests in terms of flavorings and stuffing.) Once sewn up, the carcass is rubbed with a combination of milk and water which gives the lechon that enticing red color. The pig is roasted over charcoal fire for around two and a half hours – depending on size – while continuously lathered with oil.
As for the lechong baka, after being slaughtered, it is affixed on a specially produced steel pole. Unlike with Lechon Baboy, the taste of the Lechong Baka does not come from the stuffing but from a specially concocted marinate that has been with the family for years. It is then roasted over charcoal fire and checked from time to time.
Their famous sauce, on one hand, has gone through years of experimenting and perfecting to ensure that it would stand out among its competitors.
The Staff
They are really friendly and accommodating. Since it is a family owned business and their home serve as the primary business center, the whole family has had a habit of personally catering to their clients’ needs, together with their equally accommodating staff. Despite unpleasant and sometimes depleting experiences with previous customers, they still strive to provide their customers with the best tasting lechon for their festivities and occasions.
Eatery
Later on, Mrs. Vilma Leynes decided to open an eatery to go along their lechon business. They serve house specialties like lechon, lechong paksiw, and dinuguan.
Client
Over the years, they were able to supply lechon to popular resorts, companies, and fiestas not just in the province of Batangas but also in Metro Manila and other neighboring provinces. They have also had clients who brought the product overseas.

Black Boba is the fruit of her passion for food and business, which is why she spends most of her time in their milk tea shop. Black Boba is the page of her life’s book that imparts the value of pursuing where you are good and passionate which will lead you to the success you have always wanted.
She is also fond of Korean dramas, webtoons, and stuff which is very clear from how Black Boba Milktea Shop’s interior is a uniquely designed artistry.
About the Business
Black Boba Milktea Shop & Co. is an original branded milk tea shop located at Verdan Building, Poblacion 2, Cuenca, Batangas. It opened last March 18, 2019, and is managed by Ms. Diana Rose Duran with her two business partners. Their brand name stands for the black and white theme of the store and Boba means Pearls.
Black Boba Milktea Shop & Co. is uniquely designed with Ms. Duran being a K-Drama fan at heart. The shop concept is a webtoon world, inspired by a cafe in Seoul which is black and white themed.
Black Boba always ensures 100% freshly brewed tea from Taiwan. Plus, it has a lot more to offer with variants falling under Frappes, Fruit Teas, Smoothies and Pica pica. They continuously innovate and create flavors that are why their products are their own mix, recipe, and flavor.
Students and locals of all ages from Cuenca and its adjacent municipalities like San Jose and Alitagtag are their patron customers. Even foreign tourists, visitors, stop by to visit for Black Boba milk tea.
Until the present, Black Boba Milktea Shop & Co. is stirring cups of success and gratefulness to their customers whose taste buds never forget to crave for their milk teas and offers.
Promos and plans
Black Boba sells an eco-friendly cup where customers can avail it for an additional 10 pesos in their purchase. Since the cup is reusable, every purchase of milk tea using this cup is 5 pesos less from their orders.
Ms. Diana is very proud to announce that Black Boba Milktea Shop & Co. is open for franchise this coming September. Right now, it is only available within Batangas province but does not close opportunities of venturing out in more places nationwide.

About the Owner
Ms. Princess Karina Villena together with her partner, Roland Rosales, aBatangueno Couple owned and conceptualized this coffee shop. They both work in the Middle East for years where most of their bonding time is spent in trying different restaurants to eat and have some coffee.
That leads to an idea of turning their love for coffee into a business where they would also love to invest their time and love for food.
To know more about coffee and stuff, they attended classes and search for potential suppliers and convert all of their ideas into realities, until Brewista is introduced. The Middle East’s influence reflects the concept of their cafe and food but not invalidating the locals.

About the Owner
[gallery link="file" ids="52804,52806,52802,52803,52805"]Engr. Yesly Amor Maglinao Bustria is the owner of Yeiz Tea, an own brand of milk tea shop that mixes tastes in Lipa City. She is a Licensed Geodetic Engr., Owner of Bustria Land Surveying, Licensed Real Estate Broker and the current Director for Geodetic Engineer Batangas Chapter.
She really loves milk teas and the idea of having a shop, after a failed supposed franchise of a milk tea brand because of some legal matters, she entered an idea of establishing her own brand instead. She trained in Manila for Milk Tea, Fruitea and Smoothie making.
Engr. Yesly made sure that the tastes of Yeiztea products are modified depending on her taste preference and what she really thinks people would love too.
About the Business

The shop’s name is basically derived from the name of the owner, Engr. Yesly since her college friends used to call her “yeiz” and it has been the suggestion of her sisters.
It offers a variety of sips falling under Milk Teas, Fruiteas, Hot Teas, Smoothies and Pica pica. The staff are happily serving customers with their favorite sips.
Yeiz tea’s patron customers are students and those people who really love their milk teas and all.
For Yeiz Tea’s Loyal customers, they introduced the loyal tea metallic cards that once they filled the 12 slots, the customers are entitled to free milk tea.
Last November 1 they launched the “free 12*12 pillow every end of the month” , that for every purchase is equivalent to 1 raffle entry. Items to be given changes monthly.
Aside from her love for Milkteas, Engr. Yesly is fond of singing, in fact she is planning to have a mini bar or an open stage at the second floor of the shop for customers to freely sing while waiting for their orders and also a conference area for business purposes, she wanted to make this happen before the year ends, or early next year.
Engr. Yesly also mentioned that Yeiz Tea will be opened for franchise soon.
