Bida Juana Kollyn Antonete Ebora Takes Us To Batangas!
27 September 2020Join Kollyn Antonete, Bida Juana finalist from Lumina South Luzon, as she takes us on an adventure in the province of Batangas and in Lumina Rosario!
The Batangas Bay Region consists of eleven municipalities and two cities whose catchment regions drain into the Bay of Batangas, with Rosario being one of these inner municipalities. The town is also known as "The Rice Granary of Batangas."
As a mark of gratitude to their benefactor, the Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish, the town's residents built a stone church south of the river. The town then was named Santo Rosario, more popularly known as Rosario, Batangas.
Batangas Lomi
In contrast to Lomi in Metro Manila, Batangas Lomi has distinct flavors and textures. It features fewer veggies and a thicker soup but more meat toppings. All restaurants employ the same essential components in their dishes, regardless of how they're prepared. One thing is for sure when you try this addictive heart-warming soup is that you can't go wrong with this comfort meal.
Some of the Lomi restaurants that you can visit in the Municipality of Rosario are:
- Lino's Place Lomi Haus & Eatery
- MR's Lomi and Tapsi
- Calabarzon Lomi House
- Carlas Food and Lomi House
- Park View Lomi Haus
- CBL Lomi Haus
- Lomi Project
- Carzen Lomi House
- Yummies Lomi House
Sinukmani
Made from glutinous rice, or malagkit, as Tagalogs called it, coconut milk and sugar are the main ingredients to make Sinumani or Biko, a traditional Filipino rice cake. Some even topped it with roasted ground peanuts or latik to make it tastier. Sinukmani is a local term for it in Batangas, whereas Biko is a more common term for this local delicacy in Manila.
To cook the Sinukmani sticky rice, you'll need a lot of strength. The heavier the glutinous rice becomes, the more difficult it is to stir. It is commonly served in oil-lined banana leaves, especially when eaten in a traditional restaurant. This is also best served with a hot cup of kapeng barako or freshly brewed coffee. It's also a well-known dessert or mid-afternoon snack not just for the locals but also for Filipinos.
Aside from its yummy cuisines and local delicacies, the Municipality of Rosario Batangas is also famous for its top-of-the-class restaurants and resorts. It is also renowned for its excellent travel attractions such as:
Rosario Grotto
You can find this Risen Christ Grotto in the town of Rosario at the top of Tombol Hill. A professional hiker or mountain climbing enthusiast can reach the top of the hill in around 30 to 45 minutes, although it may take longer for those with shaky feet or first-time trekkers. Due to its very steep trail, you're guaranteed an exhilarating experience as you work your way up to its summit, where you'll be rewarded with stunning views of the town and its environs.
The Stations of the Cross are shown in cement-made sculptures in a mini-park located just below the hill. You can also find some caves on the slopes of the hill that houses the Virgin Mary images. It is a famous destination, especially during the Lenten Season of the devotees and religious people.
Batangas Racing Circuit
Built in 1996, this famous racing track was called Batangas Racing Circuit or BRC as it's more well known.
The BRC has produced many excellent Filipino drivers and riders who have set national records and participated in international competitions, all thanks to the 3.7 km long racing track on our 25-hectare property.
Since its opening in 2002, the Circuit has hosted motorcycle, car, and go-kart races and practice sessions of all kinds and lessons in practical driving skills. To dissuade unlawful drag racing, the 700 M Drag Strip offers drivers and motorcyclists the opportunity to experience the thrill of quarter-mile racing at speeds of up to 190 mph. For Filipino racers, the development of the track has taught them to exhibit their abilities and equipment in a safe environment rather than on dangerous roads.
The Batangas Racing Circuit is located at Brgy. Maligaya Rosario Batangas.
Sinukmani Festival
Every 9th of June, Rosario, the Rice Granary of Batangas, commemorates making delicious sticky rice there.
Sinukmani-making and a street dancing competition round out the festival's events. Rice sacks, woven baskets or bilao, mats or banig, and other brightly colored ingredients often utilized in the preparation of Sinukmani are commonly employed in the costumes worn by street performers. Students from Rosario's barangays and other dancers participate in the town plaza's dance competition.
The sight of the most significant and most prolonged Sinukmani being made right in front of your eyes is a treat. The barangay that prepares the longest line of Sinukmani usually wins the competition.
