I love Batangas Lomi… hmmm… soooo yummy!!!

One of the reasons why I missed Batangas is because of the special lomi. Honestly speaking, I haven’t tasted anything better than the lomi that we used to eat in our hometown. Here in Manila, lomi looks undesirable and tastes differently than what it should be. Several tries and I had given up as I don’t want to be disappointed over and over again.

One of the best tasting lomi at San Juan, Batangas is the one being sold at “Queen Grace Kambingan and Restaurant”. There’s something special about its taste that you will keep on asking for more and order for more so every time there is a chance, I never forget to drop by and dine or ask my brother to buy me a “jumbo” which is the biggest serving size ;). The price is very affordable. With Php60, 2-3 persons can enjoy the delicious lomi.

The one that you see in the picture above is my father’s own version of lomi. My father is a good cook and so am I (hahaha! Just kidding!). It had become our tradition, that when he’s off from work, he will cook 1-2 kilos of lomi at breakfast and shares it to our relatives so all of us can eat our favorite lomi. Just a bit of pork, cassava flour, “loming lipa”, egg, black pepper, onion and garlic, he can make it so yummy. Well, I can say that my father’s lomi is the best tasting ever and he never fails to make my tummy full and satisfied. :)

How to cook buttered shrimp

My husband and I loved to eat in different restaurants. We wanted to try different dishes and desserts. Since my work is located in SM  Mall of Asia, what we usually do is eat in a certain restaurant every pay day. One of  our favorites is Julies Ihaw Ihaw which can be found near the bay. Eversince my husband tasted their delicious buttered shrimp, he tried cooking it on his own. And as a result, he was able to satisfy my taste. Perfect!. Hehe :)

If you want to try it as well, you would need the following ingredients:

1/4 Kilo of Shrimps/prawns

1/2 bottle of Jufran chili sauce (320 grams per bottle)
1tbsp garlic, minced
1 cup Sprite or Royal

2 red/green bell pepper sliced

1/4 cup of butter (star margarine or dairy cream)

4 grams of maggie magic sarap (approx 1/2 small sachet)


My husband's cooking procedure: (Good for 2 persons only)

1. Put shrimps in a small pan, pour 1/2 cup sprite/royal, add garlic and let it boil for about 5 minutes.

2. Pour Jufran chili sauce and add butter.
 

3. Sprinkle ground black pepper, green or red bell pepper and maggie magic sarap.

4. Let it simmer for another 3 minutes. (You can add more sprite and Jufran chili sauce if you wanted more sauce).

5. Serve while still hot. Yummy!
