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.

MFU Eatery – Capitol Restaurant is the home of the very unique ADOBONG KABAYO and TAPANG KABAYO in Lipa City, Batangas.

History

In 2016, the owner Ms. Maria Fe Marquez saw the opportunity to offer Adobong Kabayo here in Batangas, after seeing how the Manila branches of Capitol Restaurant are doing well with this delicacy. Tagalog na kabayo is a very healthy meat, less in cholesterol, and packs a lot of protein and energy. It is also relatively tastier compared to beef and goat meat.

Ms. Maria Fe and her cook at MFU always prepare the meat well and serve it na “hindi maanggo”. It was an instant hit as a viand and as pulutan for those who are near Brgy. San Sebastian. Very soon, MFU started offering free delivery to its customers.

Along with Adobo at Tapang Kabayo Special, they also offer Crispy Ulo and Pansit Canton/Guisado. The WOWBatangas Team was also able to taste their chopsuey and their chopsuey really good, the perfect sidekick of the Tapang Kabayo.

Aside from these bestsellers, they also serve Gotong Batangas and Bulalo in the morning. Truly, one can find a Batangueno taste in MFU.

Restaurant Plus

MFU believes in making their customers happy and satisfied when they dine in the restaurant and when they have their food delivered.

The staff are very friendly and immediately caters to their customers needs.

There is also ample parking in front and near the restaurant.

Fariñas Ilocos Empanada, located at Dayton Food Park, Ayala Highway, Lipa City, is one of a handful of genuine Ilokano Restaurants in the province of Batangas. They serve authentic Ilocos Empanada and the all-time Filipino favorite Bagnet in a variety of savory and delicious dishes.

History
The Manila branches of Farinas Ilocos Empanada are doing really well, as observed by the Tiu Family of San Jose, Batangas who are the main supplier of eggs in all the branches. When the opportunity came, the Tiu Family grabbed it and decided to introduce the brand here in Lipa City. It was an immediate hit, as most Batanguenos have been to Vigan and Ilocos Province, and already knew of the tasty Ilocos Empanada.

The Restaurant

The restaurant which can be seen along Ayala Highway is a combination of modern materials and the traditional flair of Vigan houses. There are a few tables on the first floor and a very spacious second floor for a lot of families and friends to fit into. The kitchen is very clean and the cooks all have the proper tools in preparing the food.

The Menu

Immediately we dove into a handful of Ilocos Empanada and were inundated with the musky taste of the longganisa and the rich texture of the papaya and egg fillings. The crunchy exterior gave a fulfilling-sound to every bite, and if you close your eyes it is as if you are transported in the streets of Vigan.

Aside from the empanada, you might want to try the bagnet dishes as well, like the sisig and the pakbet. Another hit is the savory Poque Poque, a dish made of eggs, tomatoes, onions and eggplant.

Plans
Very soon the Ilocos Empanada and Bagnet that you love will be delivered straight to your homes and offices. They are also planning to sell longganisa and bagnet by the kilo so watch out for that.

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 slaughter house, 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 Milktea Shop & Co. is a milk tea shop in Cuenca, Batangas, conceptualized by Ms. Diana Rose Duran and established together with her business partners.

Ms. Duran’s first love was really bread and pastries until she landed in Taiwan and got to taste the milk tea she fell in love. Hooked into it, she was inspired to conceptualize her own milk tea brand.

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.
