Time flies fast indeed! It's March 14 today..and it has been 2 months since I started Pinay In Texas Cooking Corner. Being a Foodbuzz and Foodie Blogroll publisher...with 184 Foodbuzz friends, 139 Facebook fans, 53 Google connect followers, 51 RSS feed readers, 52 Twitter followers and 39 BlogFrog followers, I feel that I have gone beyond my expectations in the past 2 months of blogging! My google analytics stats also improved during the second month!
And yeah, I'm truly happy for that...that's why even though I still feel so exhausted from our 2-day Austin trip, and it's quite late for my regular post schedule, I just can't let this day pass by without writing this to thank all of you for the support in the past two months! I want to thank you all for visiting and helping Pinay In Texas Cooking Corner become a place where I can share my love of cooking. Without all of you, I won't have any reason to be here. Thank you for reading and commenting to let me know that there are people who truly appreciate what I'm doing. 2 months gone and ready for the third month. All I wish is that you stay with me in my blogging journey.
To celebrate Pinay In Texas Cooking Corner's 2nd month, I'll be sharing with you another noodle recipe today --- the Batangas Lomi, with wishes for more wonderful months and years of recipe blogging! :)
So what's Batangas lomi. Lomi is a noodle dish of Chinese origin that is made with thick fresh egg noodles of about a quarter of an inch in diameter and topped with kikiam (que-kiam - a Chinese roll made with ground pork and vegetables wrapped in bean curd sheets then deep-fried until golden) and meatballs. It is a popular comfort food in the province of Batangas. Almost all the cities and towns of Batangas have lomi houses. Among the famous that I've tried are The Three Kids Lomi House and the Lomi King in Lipa City, and Lomian sa Baryo in Ibaan.

If Batangas is known for the Batangueños' favorite expression “Ala eh!” and the so called Batangas Coffee or "Kapeng Barako", it is also popular for the noodle dish LOMI. Taking a trip around Batangas, this is the last thing that travelers would want to miss. But you don't need to go to Batangas to have a taste of lomi. This recipe will let you enjoy lomi in the comfort of your home. Check it out!
