Chowing down the steaming broth of La Paz Batchoy will surely stimulate and liven up your senses. This noodle soup, garnished with pork innards, crushed pork cracklings, vegetables, shrimp, chicken breast or beef loin, shrimp broth, chicken stock and round noodles or miki.
When in Iloilo, you can get your La Paz Batchoy at many restaurants, the most popular of which are Ted’s and Deco’s (both have branches all over the city and especially in malls). If you want to eat your batchoy in the place where it was first made and sold then there’s no other place but the La Paz Public Market, where you can have other choices aside from Deco’s and Ted’s.
batchoy seems so very unforgettable food for me because of its good content that can make me so proud about the province where i was born ….
WOW!!! Nahidlaw na gid ko sa batchoy! the batchoy here in metro manila is nothing compared to the batchoy in iloilo… im always dreaming of batchoy and even tried cooking it on my own but i really couldn’t get the taste of the original, well i guess nothing really compared to the original taste of la paz batchoy! how i wish na meron din dito sa metro na nagluluto ng batchoy na ganun din kasarap sa batchoy sa iloilo and surely magiging parokyano ako ng kainan na yon!hehe!
Yum, I always loved the instant La Paz batchoy so I am intrigued how an original recipe would taste like. I need to try it when I get there.
kon magbakasyon ako once a year una pa ako mahapit sa batchoyan (w/ my family nga naga sugat sa akon) sangsa maderetso sa balay, tuod gid na ya! Wala maka daug sang batchoy ta da sa La Paz a. Mabuhay ang mga Ilongo!
Teds and Decos are the best……I really missed batchoy….
Will it be possible for all the posters here to speak in english, coz tourist like me cant understand your local dialect. Your conversation seems interesting. =)
hay kanami lng sang banwa ko ahhh..iloilo ang bachoy da di ko gid m lipatan………..lain gid ang bachoy sang mga ilonggo…………..
para sakon indi ko gid malimtan ang farmers batchoy sa atubang sang SM delgado sang una. namit gid timpla nila. matam-is.
Batchoy..yeah! I miss it so much. I originally from LaPaz, Iloilo City, where the original batchoys originated…and yeah..I have missed it so much. The Teds Batchoy here in Bacolod is not as good as the Teds in Iloilo.
All of you health conscious nuts forget all the artery clogging stuff…enjoy what you eat as long as it’s in moderation. It’s not everyday that you eat batchoy…enjoy ng enjoy. I still remember my first time at Ted’s in 1972.
I guess Ted’s is starting to address that right now by introducing another “original”…the 100% beef batchoy…the taste is absolutely the best and since it is beef,though not totally cholesterol free, it is less artery clogging than the original pork based concoction hehehe I also just happen to know that the Miswa,Bihon,and Sotanghon Batchoy variants are “original” innovations of Ted’s Oldtimer.
korek la dyan Nanette.it’s d trans fat that is floating,salt and msg that makes it yummy but yea we should develop that awareness and be health conscious coz health will be compromise d and it’s better if they have another menu of noodles that is non-fattening and am pretty sure seniors and mid adults will look for that now that hypertension and high cholesterol is common among filipinos..
La paz batchoy sounds yummy…havent been home for about 9 yrs… june…here i come.. i am looking forward…i justwish there is an option for a bathoy catered to the healthy conscious / and aged population…say low fat, esp no fat of pork and internal organs, and …no msg…
My God!..Teds Lapaz Batchoy is the number one in the City of Iloilo. I’ve been a customer of that joint since I was little. I missed eating there. The reason why, when I get in to Iloilo City, the first thing I do is to go there and eat. That’s it.
I’m always looking forward to eat La Paz batchoy kapag umuuwi ako ng Iloilo. Namitb gid!
