Batchoy is a soup with egg noodles, freshly chopped spring onions, pork offal, chopped garlic, black pepper, chicaron, and in some instances, fresh egg.

Batchoy originally originated in the District of La Paz in Iloilo City. Many would say that the best and original La Paz Batchoy originated at the eateries near the La Paz Public Market.

But with all the success developments and progress, many restaurants now offer La Paz Batchoy anywhere. There are even instant La Paz Batchoy now available. But one of the most successful brand of La Paz Batchoy is Ted’s.

Ted’s Old Timer La Paz Batchoy started in Iloilo. With its huge success it opened braches in several areas across Iloilo and later on, opened its doors in various parts of the country.

When I was still living in Bacolod City, I would normally go to Robinson’s Place in Mandalagan to satisfy my Batchoy cravings. No need to cross the Guimaras Strait for this delight. Batchoy is perfect with puto.

Ted’s have also branches here in Metro Manila. This is a welcome news for all Ilonggos and batchoy lovers. I normally get my Batchoy fix at the SM Mall of Asia.
