Jon, I guess you can consider me as an “Oldtimer”. I have somehow seen the growth of the establishment(Ted’s) and. It brought the dish into the National spotlight with countless shows featuring it, from Lifestyle Asia,Korina’s RatedK,GMA’s 100%pinoy,Trip na Trip,Lakbay TV…some in National Dailies and I saw also that Ted’s was featured in Entrepreneur Magazine. With my talk to the owners, they were very happy that Nationally Televised shows have took notice of the dish…they didn’t ask for it..its the shows that seek them.

About the caldo, well maski diin ka nga batchoyan diri sa Iloilo, its Caldo-all-you-want.

@Jon: Ok ah, hagan2 lang
@Juno: Yeah, I have a lot to learn about Iloilo, I admit. It’s a learning process for me.

I just hope the competition is healthy. Ultimately, the consumers will benefit from a healthy competition.

No probs kid =) It’s a good thing that your site is open to suggestions. Once in a while, a person as old as I am will come across your site and will put up a reaction just like mine in some of your features. So its good that you are very open to this.

Im not taking away Deco’s reputation as one of the first to have a name in the batchoy rows of Lapaz. Ted’s has built up its reputation too for having a good, if not the best tasting Lapaz Batchoy in Iloilo. It’s not an overnight success, its an honest to goodness story of hardwork and an example of a true Ilonggo success story,unlike what is happening to Deco’s right now which I heard is being bankrolled(or was it bought?) by a certain chinese businessman. They did not expand because of an overwhelming demand. Pasensya na to’ kay Kilala ko ang tag-iya sang Ted’s, so maybe im a little biased but to be fair with them, they have done so much to promote this Ilonggo dish. That is one thing that the Ilonggo’s should be proud of.

Thanks and More power to your site!!!
