Nothing beats a good hearty meal of La Paz Batchoy.
Ever since I was a kid, growing up in Guimaras and Iloilo, batchoy has been on top of my fave food list along with arroz caldo and pancit molo. And to this day, everytime I get the chance to go back home and visit my family and friends, I make it a point to eat at Ted’s Old Timer La Paz Batchoy, one of the best batchoy joints in the metro.
Batchoy goes very well with puto manapla. If you are in Manila but want to try it, Bacolod Chicken Inasal serves them — just ask for the Super Special with egg and extra chicharon. ![]()




































sarap naman!everytime umuuwi ako iloilo di ko pinapalampas na hindi makakain ng ted’s lapaz batchoy lalo na yung sotanghon kasi tamang tama lang ang timpla.try nyo!miss ko na rin ang luna’s arroscaldo and pancit molo….ay ambot nalagot ko…
damn, batchoy is my favorite gid ya! the best ang Ted’s La Paz Batchoy, that’s why I always go to SM Sucat just to eat batchoy. Ok kay mga ilonggo gid ya ga serve, unlike sa iban nga ga claim la paz batchoy man daw ila luto, pero wala gid sa kalingkingan ang lasa sa original-batchoy maker - Ted’s.
Batchoy, ang sabaw ya ginlaga nga tul-an sang pork.. lots of
spices. Actually, mi lola owns a carinderia in Iloilo. Dugay na ko wala ka puli sa Iloilo.. I miss Iloilo na.
decos lapaz batchoy is the best!!!

To manny aquino…i beg to disagree with you about beef in lapaz batchoy…authentic lapaz batchoy is pork based. In the old days, beef is only used as a substitute if the supply of pork is not available or pork has run out. Ilonggo’s will laugh at you if you will insist that lapaz batchoy is beef. Again, lapaz batchoy is pork based, that includes the broth,the meat, and the innards. Pork lahat yan pati na ang chicharon na topping.
Hi Manny,
I will ask around for that info. Haven’t gone back to Iloilo for almost 3 years now.
Will get back to you when I have something.
Cheers!
