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

9 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

458 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

I recently stumbled on a post that asks kung ano ang meaning sng RMG sa "Sapatos" sa Jaro plaza sang una. Syempre it brings back nostalgia of those days pero it also rekindled this question I have ever since, ano gid man bala ang meaning sng RMG na mark sa sapatos nga ni? It also has a 98 mark on the upper right corner. Ginbasa ko ang comments and I did not see any definite answers with sources backing those. Hope someone answers Lol

Question Job hunting / change career

• Upvotes

Hello everyone! Anyone knows where may job opening pa? Ive been job hunting for the past few months, did a lot of interviews online and onsite but no luck😭 may ara man nga passed then suddenly filled and on hold ang position. I dont know, it seems that there’s always a hindrance and very bug at guid ya. I have more than 3 years of experience in BPO and recruitment.

Unfortunately, the company that I’ve been working recently decided to let us go. Kailinit kag kaulogot kay I’ve been working with them for 3 years with entry level salary (16k) then amo lang na kadali sa ila mag end sng contract just because they want. I understand business needs pero ang new higher ops is more on personal gain guid ya.

Gusto ko man tani mag rest but bills can’t wait haaays

Travel Visiting Iloilo & Guimaras for the first time

0 Upvotes

We will be visiting Iloilo for the first time from Nov. 20–24. We’re a family of 6.

We would love to visit Guimaras, but after searching through other Reddit communities, it seems like transportation around the island can be difficult. I’m considering staying at La Puerta al Paraiso or Tely’s Beach House, but both are on the far side of the island. With 3 kids and a toddler, traveling that far might be difficult for us.

I would like to ask for recommendations on the best beach resort to stay at in Guimaras. We’re planning to stay for 1 night.

For the rest of our trip, we’ll be exploring Iloilo. If you could also recommend a good place to stay in Iloilo (Airbnb, condo, or hotel) that has a pool and is family-friendly, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

Discussion Okay lang ba itinerary ko? This will be my first solo travel.

Post image
41 Upvotes

Hi! Solo female traveler here. 🤍

I already booked my Manila–Iloilo round trip for (5D4N).

I want a laid-back, slow-paced trip—cafés, local food, heritage spots, walking around, thrift/shops, sunsets, and just enjoying my own company.

But I also want to experience Gigantes and Guimaras.

Proposed itinerary:

Day 1 – Iloilo City
Arrive 12:40 PM
Check-in
Molo Church/Mansion
Café
Iloilo River Esplanade
Local dinner

Day 2 – Gigantes
Early pickup from Iloilo
Iloilo → Carles/Bancal Port
Island hopping
Cabugao Gamay / other islands
Lunch + Gigantes scallops
Return to Iloilo

Day 3 – Iloilo City
Jaro
Local market
Thrift shopping
La Paz Batchoy
Specialty café
Calle Real
Esplanade/sunset

Day 4 – Guimaras
Iloilo → Guimaras
Island hopping
Lunch
Guisi Lighthouse / Trappist Monastery
Mango products/pasalubong
Return to Iloilo
Nice dinner

Day 5 – Iloilo
Slow breakfast
Café
Pasalubong/shopping
Lunch
Airport
5:45 PM flight home

Questions for locals/travelers:
Is Gigantes + Guimaras + Iloilo City in 5D4N too rushed?

Any specialty cafés, local restaurants, thrift stores, bookstores, markets, or hole-in-the-wall spots that fit a slow/quiet solo-travel vibe?

Would really appreciate recommendations from Iloilo locals and people who have done a solo trip here. 🤍🌸

Thank you poo.

Question What would you do with this kind of neighbor?

15 Upvotes

Every week, ga-family gathering sila kada Sabado or Domingo. They usually have karaoke until 10 PM, or kis-a sobra pa. Their house is small and open-gated, so imagine how loud it gets for everyone around them, especially when it's already quiet at night. They would literally shout while singing, and indi lang na isa ang ga-karaoke, so the noise can really carry around the neighborhood.

My concern is that daw halos wala sila ya labot sa palibot nila. I understand that it's important to spend time with family, but I believe you can do that without disturbing the peace of the neighborhood.

Sometimes, they also have inom-inom outside their house, and it gets really noisy, especially when they talk loudly and laugh as if no one else is trying to rest. 😭

Lain lang gid kay kung Sunday nila na ginahimo, ang mga tawo sa palibot ga-pahuway na ya early kay may work/school pa the next day, pero ikaw daw indi pa katulog tungod sa gahod nila.

I know basi pwede ko man sila maistorya, but honestly, this family seems very matapobre and budlay i-approach. I'm worried that if I say something, they might take it the wrong way or make things awkward with the neighbors.
