Food Trip 22 - Pancit Lomi


In a street corner which I use to pass almost every day, there are several stores selling food that ranges from merienda to a decent meal.  Theirs are among the cheapest in the area that's why I become their regular patron.

One time, out of the blue, I tried a lomi soup.  It is called a lomi because of its thick noodles.  A serving may be plain or with a boiled egg.

One of the common bystanders by the food stalls commented about the foul odor of lomi.  At first, she thought the food was no longer edible but the vendor told us that it was because of the boiled egg inside the cauldron.  Later on, the woman commented that the boiled eggs should be contained within the cauldron because for the duration of the day lomi will really smell bad like a bad egg.  The boiled egg should only be added upon ordering a serving of the lomi soup.

The woman’s observation was true.  The boiled egg should be separated from the lomi soup.  It is similar to the egg which is kept inside the underwear and is soaked in sweat.  It will really smell bad.  Hehe.
