An authentic and good Batangas lomi in Cebu

I love Batangas lomi ever since I had my first taste of it in Lipa City’s Lomi King way back in 2015. The savory goodness is just filling and sating as well. Compared with the lomi from Cebu, it has a more sticky soup, a separate condiment that you prepare according to your taste with a number of toppings. From that time, I have tasted several other versions, from other towns. And there are still so many to try and explore with several municipalities having…Continue Reading “An authentic and good Batangas lomi in Cebu” →

5 simple and overloaded Batangas lomi I have tried in Batangas

Food

Lomi is a popular noodle dish in the Philippines. In Cebu, it’s a delicious snack that resemble egg drop soup with thick noodles and topped with shredded chicken meat. Perfect with bread. But then, Batangas has upped their lomi dishes to an extent that when you mention the province, Batangas lomi is never far behind. What makes this distinct from Cebu or from other provinces is that the soup is thicker and sticky than usual. Ang lapot (so sticky)! Other than the Batanguenos elevating the…Continue Reading “5 simple and overloaded Batangas lomi I have tried in Batangas” →

A beach staycation at Be Resort Mactan. That was what I badly needed and finally had it! Stylish, well pampered and fully sated. And what’s more, I had all the beach to myself. I was raring for a good swim at the beach and for more than a year of staying at home during the pandemic, I really had no choice. I was initially planning of just hopping on a bus and taking a ride down south of Cebu for a needed sea, sand and…Continue Reading “Be Resort Mactan, finally a beach staycation!” →

Wanna try Bluewater Resort’s ShopBlue Feast-to-Go?

Food, hotels

An unexpected box from Bluewater Resorts highlighting ShopBlue arrived at home with a surprising content that made me salivate: delicious food. I always love what Bluewater Resorts have on offer. I have experienced all three resorts in Panglao (Bohol) Sumilon (Oslob) and the latest, Maribago (Mactan) with the latter two both in Cebu. One thing that I really look forward beyond the resort accommodation is really the good meals that I had tried with them. From the very delicious ube ensaymada, the adobo rice and…Continue Reading “Wanna try Bluewater Resort’s ShopBlue Feast-to-Go?” →

Cafe Breeze at Bayfront Hotel Cebu: must try pochero and other food

Food, hotels

I won’t deny that I had a great staycation at the Bayfront Hotel Cebu. And one thing that made it worth my time was, of course, the good food I had. I am doing intermittent fasting (16:8, if you may ask) but when I was there, I had to pause it and just enjoy the food. Think about it: hearty buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A good ala carte selection that you can have at the hotel’s restaurant, Cafe Breeze, or via room service….Continue Reading “Cafe Breeze at Bayfront Hotel Cebu: must try pochero and other food” →
