Superb Sto. Tomas Escapade

 

 Written by: Reena Jane Andres

An abode of greenery and freshness in a very busy and industrialized city can be found in Sto. Tomas, Batangas. This 3.8 hectares abundant foliage is a mesmerizing nature park that serves as a breather for those who are stressed and feel drained of work, school, or even their lives. 



Many people can choose to either unwind by walking and chit chatting in the outdoor amphitheater located at the heart of the park. It is a place where events can be held or even a casual family and friends get together. Even furry friends such as your favorite pet can join the fun here because this park is pet friendly. As well as biking or jogging for those who would like to extend their daily workout in the park. Taking care of oneself and while having social interactions makes us humans. Aside from that we can also visit the park alone and take in the freshness of your surroundings. Walking and seeing wonderful sights to feed the eyes and the soul. 


This park highlights not only the amphitheater but also the Red Japanese Bridge and Koi Pond which totally gives an international vibe. This gives off a sense of serenity and calmness. Healing the parts of your life that you overlook and unknowingly hurting. The 1.2 kilometer nature trail can bring you to a place where peace is free to experience and life is simple. This captivating sight is open to the public and is encouraged to be visited by all. I never knew that there could be a hidden nature gem here in my hometown. Now that I’ve described Consuelo Park I hope that I encourage you all to visit. As I recently went here and all-in-all I experienced relaxation and freshness. Furthermore, I felt so recharged after visiting this place and I will surely come back.

JMA CANTEEN AND LOMI HOUSE 

“Passerby’s Go-To Food Destination"

Founded in 2004, the year that I was born gives it a special connection to me especially that it is almost at its 20th year anniversary which surely proves that their food is surely mouthwatering and delicious. They are famous among truck drivers who travel a long journey any time of the day because they are open 24 hours. Making it the first choice of food destination of these men. 

Their most famous delicacy is of course Batangas Lomi which offers the authentic taste of Batanguenos special lomi which consists of thick yellow noodles served in a gooey soup thickened by sweet potato starch topped with loads of pork meat, pork offal, chicharon and kikiam. All positive reviews such as the food here is served by hospitable waiters and waitresses and of course the taste of the lomi is so special like no others. 

The second on the list is their special Bulalo which is the most reviewed delicacy due to its rich flavor and extremely beefy aroma. It is also perfect for sharing because of the bountiful amount of serving they give at JMA Canteen and Lomi House. I’m sure that the taste of the food here is worth coming back for. Therefore, I am encouraging each and everyone to come here in Sto. Tomas at JMA Canteen and Lomi House and experience the authentic Batangueno Cuisine.
