Batangas Lomi

Batangas Lomi is a type of Filipino noodle dish prepared with thick yellow noodles served in a gooey soup thickened by sweet potato starch topped with loads of pork meat, pork offal, chicharon and kikiam.

If pizza has meat lovers then Lomi has its own version of meat lovers too, and this is it, the Batangas Lomi. If you think that is too much to handle then let me say that my version is quite toned down compared to others, and I like it that way, I don’t want it to become over the top as still want to enjoy its other elements like noodles and its soup. So, what are its elements? Like lomi it starts with the noodles and the soup, similarity ends there as this one is loaded with different types of meat and offal, like crispy pork belly, pork liver, chicharon (pork rind), normal pork meat, kikiam, fish balls and/or squid balls to name some, others even add meatballs, intestines, lumpia and boiled eggs. Thickening agent is quite different as well since the traditional lomi uses cornstarch while this version that we have today uses sweet potato starch giving it a nice gooey texture like that green goo you see in Nickelodeon kids show.

Its one true Batangas dish, like most of their popular dishes it showcases as is main element like how it is presented in Gotong Batangas, Bulalo, Kalderetang Batangas and Batangas Style Paksiw. I am a carnivore and I love it, I know it would be meaty for some, but you can try this toned town recipe of mine if you find it excessive anyways if you are midway in eating and slurping it you can always add additional topping if you wish to.
