La Paz Batchoy: Ted's, Netongs and Deco's

Iloilo will always be a favorite city of mine. Its rich history that is well-kept and proud, traditions that spell colors and love, and food that are just wonderful and shares the goodness of Ilonggos. And as I revisit this favorite city of mine a few months back, I indulged on to an amazing food trip that spells hot, flavorful and authentic Ilonggo dish we all love, the La Paz Batchoy!

But unlike before, I enjoyed Iloilo's tastiest dish the different way - a comparative way, actually. For this food trip, I went around the city eating three of the most well-known La Paz Batchoy noodles. I was in Iloilo for four days, so as not to get myself so overwhelmed with this Iloilo's goodness, I just had one La Batchoy noodle a day.

On my first day, as soon as I landed, I first went to Ted's Oldtimer La Paz Batchoy, which is located at SM City Iloilo. If you are commuting around town or if you are coming from the airport via shuttle services, Ted's is really a good starter to stuff your tummy with Iloilo goodness.

Iloilo's Tatoy's Manokan

Ilolo, aside from it wonderful history and amazing tourist spots, is also popular all over globe for its tasty dishes. And if you are heading to Iloilo and still dunno where to eat, well, you shouldn't forget to include in your itinerary a place where every dish seemed so affordable - Tatoy's Manokan!

Tatoy's Manokan is Iloilo's version of "paluto" or the Seaside that we have here in Metro Manila. With its wide selection of pork, beef, seafood and vegetable dishes that you can order, Tatoy's Manokoan is the perfect answer to those Iloilo dishes' cravings.

When we arrived in Iloilo, Tatoy's has been one of our top priorities to visit. We've heard a lot of great things about the place, so missing it is a big mistake.

Iloilo's Ted's Oldtimer La Paz Batchoy

Waking up on a cold Saturday morning  in Iloilo City is probably one of the best things I enjoyed when I visited this humble province. The traffic-less weekend morning, the cool breeze and the warm morning smiles that I noticed on every face that I saw that morning,  only one thing left to finally call it a great morning.... The hot and delicious La Paz Batchoy!

I know there'll be some of you who will disagree with me on this. And I know that there'll be some who would say that there are far more better places to enjoy this world-famous Iloilo dish, but I guess, for a first-time visitor like me, trying this sumptuous dish at Ted's is enough to say that it is indeed a world-class dish.

Ted's Oldtimer La Paz Batchoy is said to be one of the best La Paz Batchoy-base food establishments in Iloilo. And with their wide variety of this dish, I have no doubt that most of my friends who've been here suggested me this place instead.
