Food 🍜 Food Wars | Week 5: Who Has the Best Batchoy in Iloilo?

11 Upvotes

Welcome to Week 5 of our community series!

We've spent the past month discovering some of the best coffee shops, hidden gems, and budget eats around the city. Now it's time to settle one of Iloilo's biggest food debates.

Who serves the best Batchoy in Iloilo?

La Paz Batchoy is one of Iloilo's most iconic dishes and a source of pride for many Ilonggos. Every local seems to have a favorite, whether it's a famous institution that's been around for decades or a small neighborhood shop that deserves more recognition.

Tell us your favorite!

  • Which batchoy shop is your favorite?
  • What do you usually order?
  • What makes it stand out?
  • Is it worth the trip?
  • Is there a hidden gem more people should know about?

So, where should everyone go for their next bowl?

Happy eating! 🍜

Discussion "Ano sakyan ko nga jeep?" mobile app

465 Upvotes

App is now called Malabay: Iloilo Jeepney Routes on Play Store

Hi, just released an android app called "Lugar Lang" that aims to answer the question: "Ano nga jeep sakyan ko?"

I think this is something a lot of us commuters deal with, especially kung di ka pa familiar sa ruta sang mga jeep.

The app is simple: you pin your destination, and it suggests the best jeepney route and guides you step by step until you get there.

It’s still very early, so there may be bugs, incomplete route data, or route suggestions that aren’t fully accurate yet. That’s also why the app includes community voting, so users can upvote or downvote routes, and submit their own if they know a better route or notice one that’s still missing.

Everything is free without annoying ads.

If you try it, I’d really appreciate your feedback. Thank you

UPDATE:

  • Fare estimates have been implemented.
  • Terminals have been implemented. # App is now called Malabay: Iloilo Jeepney Routes on Play Store

Discussion Pampanga is the most overrated food capital. Bacolod City has been carrying the Philippines

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

Dropping this here because I was wondering why pampanga is food capitol over BCD, but then Iloilo showed up mad that they werent recognized for their food. Maybe I have too much chicken oil in my system that I can’t think straight but is Iloilo the true food capitol over pampanga and any other places in Philippines. Ps I’m a foreigner so I don’t know shit but trying to learn about what makes these regions cuisine special and why places hold a certain “title” for food capital or UNESCO award. I can’t tell between all the hateful comments and complaints about government. Help me, my American brain is too small to figure it out.
