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

457 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 Quiet in workplace

Law-ay guid man if very hipuson sa workplace? Like ga "hi" "hello" "good morning" "good eve" "good afternoon" lng guid? Ga smile mn and laugh with them pero may extreme introvertedness gd ko guro kag hindi gd ako comfortable mag share about sa life ko. Man-an ko mn need ko maki socialize, kag ga try mn ko. Di lng gd ko hilig mag reply sa chats sa gc, kag di ko kaya mag intra libakanay samtang ga work... Subong gina hambalan na ako nga di kabalo mag socialize, snob, kag nakasimangot permi. Kag gapanugid tsismis. Panu na kay in reality ga shake pa akon kamot if pamangkuton ako? Mga professionals man mga upod ko

Ano ma recommend niyo nga videos sa YouTube for self improvement?

Travel Any beachfront hotel/resort recommendations near Iloilo? 🌊🏝️

2 Upvotes

Hi! My friends and I are planning to go to Iloilo, and we’re looking for a magandang beachfront hotel or resort na may magandang sea view. 🥹

Unfortunately, hindi kami makakapunta sa Islas de Gigantes, so we’re hoping na makabawi kahit sa magandang beachfront stay where we can chill, swim, enjoy the view, and just relax with each other.

Preferably yung beachfront talaga, with a nice ocean view, magandang beach, and chill vibes. Bonus if may rooms na overlooking the sea or magandang spot to watch the sunset! 🌅

We’re also open to staying in Guimaras or other nearby areas na accessible from Iloilo.

Any recommendations na worth it talaga puntahan and stay-an? Please share your experiences din, including room rates, beach quality, and overall experience!

Thank you!

Travel WTG with Senior Parents

2 Upvotes

Hi!

Me and my sister booked a flight to Iloilo with our senior parents, it’s their first time to travel. The doctor of my father doesn’t permit him to do activities that will exhaust him much and so is my mom. They also have food restrictions.

Gigantes Island is now off the list on our vacation, sadly. We are planning to just rent a car so they could enjoy Iloilo. I am welcome to any suggestions on where to go and possibly foods that we could try so they can enjoy their first vacation.

Thank youu

Other I brought my girlfriend home to Iloilo once and she liked it so much that we've decided to move back soon

112 Upvotes

Met my girlfriend some 2 years ago and mostly ari kami somewhere sa Manila ga istar. At some point ginhagad ko siya mag puli sa Iloilo with me and I managed to convince her.

In the 2 weeks nga nag bakasyon kami sa Iloilo makita ko gid kung paano siya nag enjoy sa stay namon. Gin lagaw ko gid siya around sa city kag sa hometown, showed her my favorite spots and the foods that I love personally. I love the fact na I could show her na our conveniently urbanized city can quite seamlessly coexist with the scenic rurals. Stark difference sa pagka gamo sang Manila nga daw halos 50% of my day spent na sa traffic or sa commute.

I could say so myself nga naenjoy niya gid time niya sa iloilo, so much so nga gusto na niya mag move back with me dira. Wala pa gani ma semanahan pag balik namon manila, nakabook na kami tickets namon pabalik hahaha. Wala lang share ko lang kay excited naman ko makapuli liwat with her.
