From the idea, vision and mind of known person behind Hello Lipa website and Hello Batangas, Jayzar Recinto made it possible with the help of The Outlets At Lipa to create this huge food escapade in Lipa City and to promote the variety of food that the entire Batangas province can offer.
Named as Batangas StrEAT Fair, expect to have 30+ food and lifestyle booths that can cater to. every single Batangueno (or even those who will gonna troop by at the said shopping destination)
With the tagline Arts, Beats and Eats - it was a galore of some sorts that is not just limited to Kapeng Barako and Lomi (although we saw one booth that sells Kapeng Barako and more). Lotsa unique options that we saw there from that not-so-typical corn-on-a-cob on the grill but with jalapeno cheese and two other coating options, to mushroom products like mushroom chicharon, almond cheese ensaymada, rare lager beers and gelato from a known place in Lipa, pure produced honey and related products, carrot cupcake and so much more. The pics that scattered around on this blog post has lots to tell on what to expect there. In terms of pricing, they are mostly reasonable unlike on some food fairs that we experienced.
The said fair is not just for food. There were also some sellers related to beauty (like we saw some free trial of their make-up line-up) to variety of accessories and RTWs. We only had the Day 1 yesterday but you still have two days to enjoy Batangas StrEAT Fair like today (August 31 2019), expect some good vibes with the reggae band The Blanc on the fair's musicfest day and on the third and final day (September 1 2019) , catch the Lomi Cooking and special Barako Beans Market which to expect the best Kapeng Barako that you can make.
Batangas StrEAT Fair entrance is for free and it is just in The Outlets in Lipa which you can ask if you are first timer either you are riding in jeep going to Lipa City or even buses coming to Batangas City (if you are coming from Metro Manila, just hop in a Batangas City bus without the Calabarzon signboard) to drop you off in LIMA and then, it is just meters away from the intersection going to the said venue. The said fair is open from 3 pm to 9 pm
