I. Introduction

Lomi or Pancit Lomi is a Filipino dish made with a variety of thick fresh egg

noodles of about a quarter of an inch in diameter, soaked in lye water to give it

more texture. Because of its popularity at least in the eastern part of Batangas,

specifically in Lipa, there are as many styles of cooking lomi as there are eateries,

panciterias or restaurants offering the dish There are quite numerous lomi houses

scattered just around the vicinity of Lipa and the researchers went to three different

restaurants to gather information and history where and how lomi started.

According to the owner of Lipa Panciteria, in 1968, Kim Eng, a Chinese

who came to live in Lipa City, became so fond of cooking lomi for his mahjong

friends. His lomi tasted so good that he became known for it. With his wife Natalia,

they put up Lipa City Panciteria in A. Mabini Street which the first ever lomi house

in the city. The tender noodles and the kikiam and meatball toppings made Kim

Eng’s lomi so enticing that Lipeños fell in love with his cooking. Kim Eng was not

selfish with his cooking techniques. In fact, he shared his way of cooking lomi to

other people who eventually established their own lomi houses around the city.

Fifteen years later, Kim Eng’s family had another Lipa City Panciteria in Kap.

Simeon Luz Street that housed their Super Lomi, Super Chami, and Toasted

Canton among their other noodle dishes. Their children — Shirley, Gary, Jonathan,

Grace, and Minnie — helped out in running their business. Gary is the one who

put up Lomi King in Brgy. Marawoy.

As a reminder to the people of Lipa, Lipeños should never stop continuing

the legacy of Lomi.


A. Objectives of the Study

The objectives of this study is to identify and discover the origin and history

of Lomi, to determine evolution of Batangeños Lomi, and to gain familiarity to the

essential ingredients and process on how to make a delicious lomi.

B. Statement of the Research Problem

Customer satisfaction is an important aspect to build a strong relationship

with the clients. One very important factor in aiming for a successful business is

the costumers. Lomi house is one of the most common businesses in Lipa, for it

originated in Batangas. Many of it lasted and became popular but some didn’t

make it. One problem of poor management is the unmet expectations of a

customer. Most lomi house owners might use the same method of cooking but they

differ in their style and recipe. What could be the best recipe of lomi batangas that

could satisfy the cravings of lipeňos?
