Chicken Lomi

Chicken Lomi is a type of Filipino chicken noodle soup. Compared to traditional chicken soup, the broth for this particular soup version is thicker. Raw egg is added to the broth making it almost similar in texture to egg drop soup. What makes the soup even thicker is the mixture of water and cornstarch, which is added towards the end of the cooking process.

Unlike popular versions of Lomi, which are mostly composed of meat and mami, this recipe utilizes vegetables such as carrot and cabbage along with boiled egg and fresh slices of lean chicken breast. It implies that that this chicken lomi version is healthier because it contains servings of vegetables, has high protein content from the chicken breasts, and low in fat.

What do we like most about this recipe? Aside from the nutrition aspect, there are two things that we can quickly think of: It is fast and easy to prepare; and it is delicious. We asked how they cooked the soup and they said, “the fresh chicken was cooked directly by sauteing along with garlic, onion, and carrot, and we also added RETIRO to make the soup more tasty”. It also has a balanced flavor and a nice thick texture which makes it delicious and pleasant to eat.

The ambiance of the restaurant is very clean, organized and pleasant. When it comes to the preparation time, it takes 10-15 minutes before serving it. When it comes to the question “sulit ba?”, for us it is enough to make our stomach full and it is really delicious.
