Lapaz Batchoy. Lapaz Batchoy is originated from Lapaz Iloilo. It is similar to a ramen from other countries but the difference is how it was prepared by the Ilonggos which they will not disclosed the recipe and the procedure.

Siomai of Siomai House One of the Best Bang For the Buck Siomai

Two years already and I still love this siomai from Siomai House, the taste is so perfect that you do not need a chili sauce on it. You can see their stall along LRT station one, MRT, and LRT station two. For just 25 pesos you can avail this sumptous siomai that will fulfills your tummy.



As far as I remember the first taste of this siomai is when I worked in Toyota Philippines. I am just curious about the taste of this one and try to compare to its competitor Siomai King.



After that I stick to the siomai of Siomai House because of the taste; so simple no other taste that your taste bud will encounter compared to other siomai franchise out there. Every lunch I went to LRT station two cubao station grab a bite of this siomai. Even now I am working in a different industry I usually go for this siomai, it is so addictive even my former coleauges from the automotive industry, when we see and they are treating me, I request this food with no chili on it; sometimes when I am craving for this one I go for four orders.

From what I see from their stand. Siomai King is owned by Bernabest Food which their office is located in Caloocan. The franchise fee of Siomai King ranges from 250,000 pesos to 300,000 pesos. Not bad for a food franchise investment.

If you are looking for a street food that is clean then I suggest to try this one matched with their gulaman.
