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.

Our very own Paela Mixta coming your way as we give you a taste of our version of this famous Spanish dish.

The Philippines celebrates New Year’s Day with a public holiday every 1 January, as does most of the rest of the world. However, the celebrations really begin on New Year’s Eve and reach a high point with the turning of the clock from 11:59pm on 31 December to midnight on 1 January. Somewhat unusually, New Year’s Eve is also an official holiday here.

Fireworks, good food and good company, New Year’s resolutions, and greeting cards are all a part of the celebration in the Philippines. Attending midnight mass on 31 December is a practice of devout Roman Catholics. Firecrackers and loud noises are traditionaloy thought by some to scare off evil spirits, and leaving doors and windows open is supposed to let the good luck come in.

Parents may tell their children to jump as high as they can at midnight to help them grow taller. Others don polka dot clothes to make the new year more prosperous. And some put 12 fruits on display to symbolise the 12 disciples.

San Antonio Medical Center of Lipa, Inc. is a pioneering health care provider in Lipa City. When it was established in 1970, the hospital was known as San Antonio Maternity and Medical Hospital, because of its basic health care provided by the first US-trained Obstetrician-Gynecologist, Frances N. Reyes and Internist-Cardiologist, Cesar A. Reyes Sr. The hospital kept on improving, in the late 1980s, it became San Antonio General Hospital, a secondary hospital which can support licensed physicians in pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, general surgery and other supporting medical services.

From humble beginnings (primary – secondary – tertiary) it became San Antonio Medical Center of Lipa, Inc. last 2008.

In addition to these medical specialty services and facilities, the hospital offers specific sub-specialty care such as Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI). New facilities include the Fertility Center and Gynecologic-Minimally Invasive Surgery Center doing a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy.

Presently, there are a lot of other healthcare providers in Batangas province. What sets San Antonio Medical Center of Lipa, Inc. apart from others aside from its services and facilities is its social responsibility to the people. The priority of our institution is its commitment to care for the lives of people through affordable and compassionate healthcare for all.

The owners order the use of hospital facilities and equipment judiciously and do not only consider profit. The hospital has reasonable rates and its doctors charge reasonable professional fees.

Bambu is an events place, cafe & bar, resort located at Daang Janopol, Brgy.

Bambu started as a rest house of the Arayata family. Then, luckily Mr. Abe Arayata the son of the owner got inspired to be a chef and to create his own restaurant someday because of his grandparents who taught him how to cook when he was young. He saw the potential in the place and created multiple services such as a restaurant, events place, and a resort inside.

Today, Bambu is a family-owned business not only known for its exclusivity, but also for its delicacies such as Tahong Sisig, Hamonado Crispy Pata, Garlic Rose Mary Pork Ribs, and Kalabasa Cheesecake. It’s a farm to table restaurant by Chef Abe Arayata a graduate from Enderun Colleges, and Chef Ariel Atienza our local chef who worked at a 5-star hotel in Saudi Arabia.

The Owner

Mr. Abraham Arayata is the owner of Bambu Cafe Bar and Events, a young businessman who has a bachelors degree in Business Administration and he also took up a culinary course in order for him to pursue his passion in cooking. Aside from being the owner, he is also the head chef of Bambu. His love for cooking was the influence of his mother and his grandmother.

His passion for cooking was influenced by his mother and grandmother. At first, the place was just a farm and a rest house used by the family. After graduation, he thought of investing for the betterment of the place and eventually developed it into a restaurant. He is also fond of organic farming, the herbs that they are using for their dishes are found within their backyard. As for the meat and seafood ingredients, they purposely restrict the number of inventory to guarantee the quality of every dish. Customers may call ahead of time to secure a specific meal. Menu Chef Abe is very fond of Filipino cuisine and a fan of the dishes cooked by his mother and grandmother thus giving him inspiration for the menu plus some twist to entice your palate.

Bambu Cafe Bar and Events also gives opportunities to local talents as they are open for local bands to perform on the restaurant and local entrepreneurs as they have a corner for local products here in Batangas.
