Batangas is known to be the best source of meat in the country – the freshest beef that you can ever find in the Philippines feeding on organic grass. The surrounding bodies of water also makes the province accessible to seafood and freshwater fishes.

We have selected the top 5 famous delicacies in Batangas that you should try on your next visit.

1. Batangas Bulalo

Commonly known as the “bone marrow soup”, Bulalo is the most favorite cuisine of visitors of Batangas. This is a staple on most restaurants in the province, served with unlimited rice on the side. Different parts of meat were boiled to perfection – long enough that the meat starts to fall off from the bone. Fresh vegetables like string beans, cabbage, potatoes, sweet corn and sometimes bananas are added to give life and bright colors to the soup. Try it with calamansi, fish sauce, and chili.

1. Batangas Lomi

This cuisine is usually served as a snack and can also be found in most streets of Manila. What sets Batangas Lomi apart from all the lomis in PH is the texture and the ingredients – the ones from this province is usually thick and gooey and have ingredients like crushed chicharon, sliced ham, sliced liver, meatballs, thick noodles, and more.

1. Adobo sa Dilaw

Adobo is another popular dish in the Philippines (usually pork or chicken) but the ones served in Batangas has its own unique touch: it is yellow (“dilaw”, in our language) in color. Instead of using soy sauce, locals use turmeric to add color and flavor in it.

1. Kapeng Barako

Not only that you will find fresh meat in Batangas, coffee in this side of town is a big hit too! Kapeng Barako is a local coffee brew from the Liberica coffee variety, usually prepared by pouring hot water into the freshly brewed beans and straining the mixture with a piece of cloth. Best served with brown sugar, honey, and fresh milk.

1. Fried Tawilis

Tawilis is a freshwater fish native to the Taal lake, usually deep-fried and served with anchovy sauce and green mangoes. It is crispy but the bones are very soft you won’t have to worry about hurting your palate.
