Most people go to Lipa City for the beaches and the historical sceneries. But this place is also a haven for foodies. What’s great about it is that the city is just outside Metro Manila, thus very accessible.
Here are some little-known food finds in Lipa, to feed your gastronomic adventure.
Dulcissima Bakeshop
A tiny backeshop that specializes in its cheesecakes and cream puffs. You can get basic puffs and cheesecakes anywhere in Metro Manila, but you have to travel a few miles to get one that tastes a bit differently. The cheesecakes are individually packed like tart and has a very distinct flavor. It’s hard to stop eating just one or two. The cream puffs, on the other hand, are a nice blend of moist, puffy and crunchy.
Milk Joy
Perhaps the tastiest milk I’ve ever come across, Milk Joy actually supplies Starbucks and has been, since 1993, a household name in the city. Milk Joy is also found in selected groceries in Metro Manila. But of course, in Lipa, you can find it anywhere.
Lomi King
Lomi is very popular in Batangas and the best lomi house to go to is Lomi King, which is already an institution as it was built in 1968. The secret to this delectable dish is in always having everything farm fresh. The food is served without flavoring and the vegetables aren’t mixed into the soup to keep it fresh, too.
Café de Lipa
Get your caffeine fix with Café de Lipa’s authentic Kapeng Barako. The coffee is world class but doesn’t carry the expensive $$$ price tag. Try their Caramel Macchiato, the ultimate best seller when you are in Lipa.

I just recently went to Dumaguete and found home twice. The city opens to you welcomes you with its humble locals and never ending mini shops. I visited sans Rival, the home delicacy of Dumaguete City.
Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries is a pastry shop where the popular Silvanas in Dumaguete are made.
For delicious baked goodies in Dumaguete, Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries is the place to go to. This pastry shop has a wide variety of home-cooked cakes, pastries, cookies, and other baked goodies. The old time favorites are the Sans Rival and its cookie version, the Silvanas.
Tita Trining Teves-Sagarbarria is the original owner of Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries. The pastry shop was first opened in 1977 in Dumaguete. Tita Trining, as she is fondly called, has a passion for cooking and baking. For every cake and pastry that she creates, her passion is evident in them. Her children inherited Tita Trining’s cooking and baking prowess.
Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries’ success and expansion came with the help of Tita Trining’s children. At the present, Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries have branches in Manila and in California in the United States. The new branches have the name of the business changed from Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries to The House of Silvanas Bakeshop.
The shop is very cozy and is accented with Caribbean blue colors. The pastry shops not only offers cakes and pastries, but other pastas.

For the people who have missed the sweet taste of Don Henrico’s, you will be glad to note that they have opened a new brand at the G-Strip in Barangay Greenhills, San Juan City,Manila.
Now on a dry run, they are serving the same old food such as the yummy Buffalo Wings, Pasta and Pizza. Oh and do not forget the cakes which are sure to be a hit for the sweet tooth customers.
Among the famous menu items include:
- Calzones
- Buffalo Wings
- Pasta
- Pizza
- Meal Entrees such as Cordon Bleu
Don Henrico’s Greenhills is at the second floor of G-Strip in Barangay Greenhills, right across Mercury Drug Store and the Body Shop. For now, they are not accepting credit cards since they are on a “Dry Run” so be ready with cash if you do decide to drop by.
Also, they are offering a Don Henrico’s Loyalty Card holder where you can get a 10% discount on all cash purchases that is good until June, 2010.
In case you find yourself in Greenhills, drop by this food establishment. I don’t know if it is just because I missed their succulent food but their servings are quite large! Get your tummy ready!
