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

460 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 Iloilo Jeepney Routes a Commuters App

66 Upvotes

Iloilo Jeepney Routes, at https://salugar.iloilocity.app

It puts all 25 city jeepney routes, taken from the Iloilo City Route Map, on one easy map:

- See where every jeep goes. Small jeepney icons move along each route in the direction it runs.

- Find which jeeps pass your street. Tap any spot on the map or use your phone's location.

- Plan a trip. Choose where you are and where you're going. The app suggests the best one or two jeeps, where to ride, where to transfer and where to get off. The rider chooses how far they're willing to walk, from 100 m to 1 km.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome. I built this for the commuters to promote a more walkable Iloilo City.

Discussion Disappointed sa mga manog baligya nga bal an man nila dunot na ila product pero ginabaligya gyapon nila.

23 Upvotes

nag bakal ko sa super sa may prutasan sa sulod, kilid isdaan dampi, mabal an mo na ang ila pwesto kay gabaligya sila sari sari nga mga prutas.

Bal an ko man nga sala ko kay wala ko masyado ginatan aw ang ginadisplay nila.

pero confident ako nga okay pa ang ila prutas kay damo pa ila stocks nga gatumpok so nag try ko mag bakal bisan gamay lang.

pero pag abot ko sa balay, wala napuslan tanan kay puro dunot hahaha.

mayu lang gamay lang gin bakal ko. pero paano nalang ang iban nga tawo diba?

ang point ko lang tani as a seller, they should know better. kwarta kwarta nalang gid ya ila.
