A Batangueño classic—tulingan (bullet tuna) slow-cooked in kamias and salt, wrapped in banana leaves, and simmered until tender. Rich, salty, and deeply flavorful—Lian locals serve it with rice and a dash of calamansi.
Served in local eateries and homes.
Thick and savory noodle soup, known for its rich, viscous broth and generous mix of meat toppings.
Goto is a savory rice porridge made with beef tripe (tuwalya), infused with ginger, garlic, and a splash of calamansi. Often topped with crispy garlic and chicharon for that extra bite.
Lugaw, on the other hand, is the simpler sibling—plain rice porridge, smooth and soothing, perfect with hard-boiled egg or tokwa't baboy on the side.
Taste Lian’s sweet side with creamy buko pie and classic kakanin like sapin-sapin, suman, and bibingka—perfect as pasalubong or a local snack.
