Your Batangas food trip will not be complete without our very own Batangas lomi. Since the 90′s, lomi houses mushroomed along the roads and towns of the province. If I am not mistaken, all the towns and cities of Batangas have numbers of lomi houses where local folks seemed so into. In Lipa City, we have the famous Lomi King with several branches now. Also we have the Three Kids Lomi house, Benok’s, Rose’s, Panciteria, and so on.
I myself won’t let a week or a month pass without having a bowl of mouth-watering lomi. (gosh, I feel like indulging into one now.)
Anyway, for those at home who want to cook lomi, and for those wondering about lomi’s secret ingredient, check out the following;
Ingredients:
1/4 kilo lomi noodles (flat)
1/2 cup pork (sliced into strips)
1/2 cup shrimps, shelled
1/4 cup chopped ham
1 large onion, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 tbsp. chopped carrots
6-7 cups chicken or meat broth
2 tbsp. cooking oil
1 tbsp. cornstarch.dissolved in water
2 raw eggs
2 tbsp. patis
salt to taste
1 tsp. vetsin
Instructions:
Saute garlic and onion. When brown add pork, shrimps, and ham. Add patis; stir for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, cover and simmer until water is almost dry. Add broth. Cover and let boil for 10 minutes.
Drop in noodles, carrots, and shredded cabbage. Let boil for 3 minutes and thicken with dissolved cornstarch. Put off the heat.
Beat eggs and stir in. Do not boil. Serve at once.
As for the secret ingredient: Batanguenos cook with love.
ay tunay ka naman…pagkasarap ng lomi ng batangas!
anong klaseng noodles ginamit sa lomi batangas?
Do you have real batangas lomi recipe. The recipe you posted is for Chinese restaurants. Batangas lomi does not use carrots and cabbage–just liver, meatballs and/or kikiam. Soup should be brown.
those were options. depende sa panlasa ng kakain. You may or may not add those. There are some pa nga na with toasted garlic and chicharon on top pa. most lomians have gimik na kasi. minsan may mga siomai pa.
code-switching much? ano ba yan.

mali ang ingredients mo, hindi lomi batangas yan, hindi ka p sigurado nakatikim ng tunay na batangas lomi. o baka guisado na may sabaw ang nakain mo, ang lomi batangas ay walang gulay…
Tama, hindi cornstarch, kundi cassava. Wala ding shrimp, carrot at cabbage. Authentic?.. visit Lipa or Pangao, sa Ibaan sa amin baga.
Hey thanks for posting!
masarap yung lomihan dito sa megaheights subdivision, bats city, mura pa.
May I know the name of the famous Lomihan in Lipa city? Thanks.
3 kids…
3 kids.. sikat yan sa lipa city… kasi masarap.. pero marami ring masasarap at mas masarap pa kaya lang pinaka sikat talaga ang 3 kids… lalo na sa mga estudyante.. dinadayo talaga nila ang 3 kids…
My grandma cooked it and it is awsome!:))
I miss Batangas Lomi! Looking forward to going home soon!
San ka ba ngayon? If you’re staying in Laguna, you don’t need to go to Batangas just to eat Batangas LOMI. We have Lomi house in Katapatan Homes, Banay-banay, Cabuyao Laguna. Just a 100 meters away from the National Road. Look for “MEKMAC Batangas LOMI”.
Masarap ang LOMI dito for only 25 pesos each busog ka na, masarap pa.
wala po bang malapit sa las pina or quezon city?! i always crave for that..
we just recently open a lomi haus here in gagalangin tondo…we have are serving the best batangas lomi ang goto you can find here in manila…i may say that the recipe you posted are far from the real batangas lomi…shrimp?…nah! you can never find shrimp on any batabgas lomi!
ei bhing, do had any branch in qc or somewhere in sampaloc?!
w0w…dis is very easy to cook…but im a newbie…so i always take a look at the internet…wakokokokok….what ever…xD
batangas lomi dont use cornstarch. Cassava flour ang ginagamit. The best yung lomian sa Pangao, Ibaan, Batangas
that’s right para sobrang lagkit, parang sipon…
Actually, chinese naman talaga ang lomi, masarap nyan yung sa may simbahan “panciteria” inabutan ko pa yun, pawid lang yung wall. Egg noodles ang ginagamit nila, sila na rin gumagawa, at may secret ingredients sila sa sabaw… kundi ako nagkakamali, nilalagyan nla ng shitaake mushroom yun.. pero di nila pinapakita
makakatikim na rin ako nyan…ala eh malapit na malapit na ilang tulog na lang…
Magluluto ako mamaya. Wala nga lang noodeles na lapad dito sa lugar namin sa Canada.
i remember Three KIDS LOMI HOUSE WAY BACK ’86 PA, we’re just freshmen then from La Salle. one of the best lomi we’ve tasted.
the ingredients posted is not for lomi batangas but more on a chinese style… lomi noodles (mi-ki) are the secret of lomi. simple ingredients but hard to create. just a glimpse of delicious noodles.
-flour
-water
-salt
-”lihiya”
but hard to create…
di yan batangas lomi… walang gulay ang batangas Lomi… di rin patis.. bka maglasang sopas yan pag niluto mo… batanguena kasi ako… diko pinupulaan ang recipe mo.. sinasabi ko lang ang totoo.. sana “my own version of lomi” and title mo, hindi “batangas Lomi”… di rin po kami gumagamit ng chicken broth…
lomi ng batangas…”"wala kang katulad,wla ng hihigit pa sa sarap mooooo….da bezt..try it !!
Marami ng bersyon pag gawa ng lomi sa ngayon. 30 years ago, sekreto ng original na malasang lomi ay broth galing sa ulo ng baboy. Walang carrots at cabbage. At ang noodles mabibili laang sa Lipa at Rosario. Sa Manila and other places, iba na ang loming Batangas, called it Chinese lomi na. Kung ang Iloilo may La Paz Batchoy, sa Batangas may Lomi, yon na yon. Parang Goto, pag dating sa Manila iba na ang Goto, naging lugaw na.
… Unfortunately, sa hindi ko rin malamang dahilan, madalang o halos walang Batangas lomi sa Metro Manila. Kaya oras na papasyal sa BAtangas, hindi maaaring dadaan sa lomian sa Lipa (original) o di kaya sa Pangao, Ibaan. May pabalot pa pagalis. Not quite healthy stuff, but super full and energetic naman.
omi ng batangas ang ‘da best…wala pa ring tatalo….lalo na pag maraming toppings..hehehe!!!kagutom…
