I know this sounds cliche. But really, my apprenticeship is one of the most transformative phase in my life. I have never imagined a workplace filled with kind-hearted, hard-working and jolly bunch.
Engaging in public service also made me realize how fortunate I was in life. The apprenticeship program experience alone was a big blessing for me. Yet, it got even better when I was nvited to join their summer getaway. One of my mentor is a local of Lipa City Batangas so he brought us to his favorite food place called Liam's Lomi House. Liam's has won several awards for their lomi.
It has a sign but the road side. But, you have to go in further inside the street to reach the actual establishment.
It was a simple but already modern structure with many seating capacity. There's a lot of parking spaces too.
For such a conspicuous and humble place, I honestly didn't expect it to be full. It was not even meal hours when we dropped by as we came at around 3 pm. They adopted a pay as you order system so you have to order by the counter. The place had a high ceiling so despite lacking air-conditioning, it was cool enough for me.
There was also a barbecue stall outside with its own signage "Liam's Special BBQ" but I didn't get to try it. Because we were already about to leave when they started making preparations.
I loved the idea that we have to eat on a banana leaf because it felt more native.
Food
My mentors are so kind to treat me and my apprentice-mates. They also knew I do some food blogging so they didn't touch the food until I got a shot. Aren't they the most awesome mentors ever?
Noodles
 |
| ♥ Lomi Special (50 php) |
As the name implied, their best-seller is their lomi. I was so thrilled when our Lomi Special arrived. It was a big bowl filled with lots of topping like pork meat, pork liver, fish ball and kikiam. Of course, it was very flavorful and the thick noodles has a nice firm, soft and slightly chewy texture too.
Soup
 |
| ♥ Chopsuey (110 php) |
I'm a veggie lover so I was happy to hear that they ordered the Chopsuey. Their version is unconventional. It is essential the traditional chopsuey vegetable ingredients with a more soupy-base and loaded with special toppings that were similar to the Lomi Special (i.e. pork meat, pork liver, fish ball and kikiam). I don't usually appreciate the chopsuey. But, this one I loved!
Short Orders (Good for 3)
 |
| ♥ Fried Chicken (130 php) |
The Fried Chicken has a different cooking technique to it that makes it distinguishes it from the usual American or Filipino-style. It was well-marinated and coated in crispy starch similar to the Taiwanese chicken chops. This is definitely worth a try!
 |
| Sisig (130 php) |
Last, but certainly not the least, is the Sisig. While I prefer the sisig without the mayonnaise, I found this one quite enticing.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
For a hearty meal with any group, Liam's Lomi House is a great stop! The best part is, is that a meal will cost you less than 100 pesos. This is one food discovery that I am very grateful for. And, the experience and the company made it even more unforgettable.
