We have featured different Batangueño dishes here and we’re wondering kung ano ba talaga ang pinaka-patok sa panlasa ng mga kababayan natin.
Kung halimbawang magkakaroon ng official dish ang Batangas, ano kaya ang pipiliin ng karamihan sa atin?
If you are not from Batangas, you have to try all these dishes. Let’s get the list rollin’.
Lomi
This comfort food started warming the tummies of Lipeños way back 1960s by a Chinese native named To King Eng. A bowl of lomi never fail to satisfy a Batangueño’s palate especially during this rainy season.

Sinigang na Maliputo
Sinigang can be done to shrimp, beef, pork, or fish, just like cranx ignobilis or simply, maliputo. This dish falls into the list because maliputo can only be found in our very own Taal Lake.

Sinaing na tanigue! Creamy ang patis kapag tanigue ang ginamit na isda. Na-miss ko tuloy ang mga Lolo at Lola ko. Masipag silang magtuyo ng kalamyas kaya nakakaluto kami noon ng sinaing na isda kapag gusto namin. ^^
The ones I miss the most are panutsa, tapa, tiping, and ginatan. And fruits like atis, real guava, lansones, and pinipig in chocolate.
