Road Trip and Food Trip on Christoff's 3rd Month

When hubby and I were still dating, we used to go places just to eat. As in yung food lang talaga yung dinadayo namin. Kahit saang lupalop pa yan, kapag natripan namin, wala kaming pakiaalam basta pupuntahan namin at kakain kami doon. Sabi nga ng parents namin, "Basta kainan, maaasahan ang mga yan!" Hahaha!

That's why one time, while hubby and I were talking, we agreed that we will go road and food tripping with the kids one weekend. Kaya naalala namin bigla ang Lipa. Namiss namin yung lomi doon eh (the best lomi that we've ever tasted). Sakto rin because one of the Ninong of Christoff is based there kaya maidadaan na rin namin yung invitation for the dedication of Christoff.

That weekend came and off we went to Lipa. That weekend was extra special too because it was the 3rd month birthday of our bunso which we celebrated there.

Here is hubby, enjoying the Star Tollway...

First, we dropped off the invitation to Christoff's Ninong. Then we went to D' Lover's Lane Bibingkahan to buy some bibingka. It's just a small store and I discovered it many years ago when I accompanied my mom at Lipa DTI. Lakad lakad lang ako that time and napansin ko yung store. I got curious so I tried out their bibingka. Nasarapan ako kaya I introduced it to my mom. From that time on, we always buy there every time nagagawi kami sa Lipa.

Here's what inside...

They use the traditional way of cooking bibingka...

Here is where they place the cooked bibingka...

You can pair the bibingka with their free salabat (which is actually yummy)...

After the bibingkahan, we searched for the lomi house where we used to eat. Unfortunately, we went around twice and we weren't able to find it. Siguro lumipat na sila and nag-upgrade na. Pero fail talaga eh. Kaya we ended up eating lomi at Lomi King near La Salle Lipa.

We ordered the following:

Super Seafood Lomi...

P105.00

Seafood Chami...

P95.00

and Butter Toast...

P50.00 (2 orders)

When our orders came, we sang a birthday song to the celebrant. He was still smiling here...

and during our family photo shot, the celebrant was cranky already plus the frowning boys because they just came from sleep...

About the food at Lomi King, the taste is very far from the lomi house that we used to eat. Their lomi is very thick, ang dami atang cornstarch na nilagay eh. Plus, medyo nahilo kami ni hubby after eating, mukhang madaming vetsin yung food. Kaya feeling ko, it will be the first and last time namin kakain dun. Sabi ko nga kay hubby, mas mukha pang masarap dun sa medyo small na lomihan na nakita ko.

Though medyo fail yung food trip namin sa Lipa, we were still happy that time kasi nakapagbonding na naman kami and very unique din yung celebration ng monthly birthday ng aming bunso.

The 4th month birthday of Christoff will fall on Holy Wednesday. Ano kaya ang gimmick namin that day? Any suggestion?
