I’ve been living in Bacolod for almost 2 years now and I haven’t eaten batchoy at 21 yet. Your post made me think about eating there sometime in the future…For batchoy I usually go to Super Batchoy House near the central market…Almost as good as the ones we have in Iloilo…

thanks again, MM. being a negrense myself- cant help but feel homesick. miss the batchoy,inasal, laswa, pochero, etc.. hope you will have the time to go to bacolod again and share your new found food adventures. try garden cafe- so far they have the most authentic ilonggo delicacy- at par with my lola bebings cooking. i love their fresh lumpia ubod. have you tried the kansi from bacolod? its also to die for. try the food from the manuglibod from silay- the empanaras,etc…my mom used to buy the wide array of food selections from their baskets- am not sure if they still sell these though. have you tried the food from pendy’s and bob? i miss the big siopao and burgers from Bob’s. as a child after seeing my pedia dr s- we just hav to stop by at bob’s. also the napoleones at rolis bakeshop, chocolate cake and their sans rival.

reaaaalllly miss Batchoy…. I will eat tons of it when we go to the Philipppines at the end of this year…I wonder if the Batchoy restaurants (Nora’s Lapaz Batchoy and Ted’s- I think) are still there – right in front of the Lapaz Public Market.

Oh and I remember going here too back in the 90’s. It was like a gimmick place then… Balay 21, ithink, I was like 12 or something and I was with my dad at that time. To much of my suprise a classmate of mine owns it pala. This is the place I first tried Margarita hahahha! Waaah time flies!

My first time to comment but been reading your blog for a year now. My dad was Ilonggo as well and reading this just brings me fond memories of batchoy, dulce gatas… I remember eating this with rice, and that ver salty fish egg. Thanks for the memories.
