After almost a week of combined land and sea travel while covering the DBP RoRo Race 2009, the race organizers treated us for lunch in Rose & Grace in Sta Rosa before heading to the last and final pit stop which is in DBP head office in Makati.

Batangas Bulalo

Ive been seeing a branch of this restaurant in Sto. Tomas Batangas each time I visit my hometown in Quezon but I haven’t got the chance to tryout their specialty which is the Bulalong Batangas.

Ginataang Tulingan

Lola Alice – the logistics head of the race ordered several Batangas specialty dishes like Bulalo, Fried Tawilis, Adobong Batangas and Ginataang Tulingan.

One serving of Bulalo can actually be shared by three people, each Bulalo serving has a generous portions of super tender Batangas beef, vegetables and best of you can request for a free refill of their Bulalo soup. Their crispy fried tawilis was served on stick, I guess its also the best way too cook it hmmmm a good frying technique.

Adobong Batangas

If you love adobo then you should try their Adobong Batangas, It taste similar with the regular adobo but it has less soy sauce and it has achuete to add color.

I love their Ginataang Tulingan – my grandmother thought me how to cook this dish back in high school.

Fried Tawilis

Of all the stopovers that we had, this was definitely the best. I will definitely go back to checkout other Batangas specialties and other Pinoy Favorites in this restaurant. Soon!
