The original La Paz batchoy is the most tasty batchoy in the Philippines, it is a mix of ilonggo made noodle with pork liver, meat, pork fats, chicharon or pork crackers, onion, pepper, salt and the heart of its taste is the beef bone soup.
As years pass by, there are so many version of this type of soup which is called "Batchoy", even in some Malls in Manila you can order this noodle soup. But if you want to taste the real Batchoy you need to visit Ilo-ilo where it is originally made in the town of La Paz. Previously i visited the province and again try to eat Batchoy, however i have observe that servings are already different than before, it is much smaller or content are smaller, i wish to had it as before. In near province riding in a fast craft ferry i visited Bacolod City, and i had a chance to taste their Batchoy, most likely taste are similar but some added ingredients are made, i have tried both to eat in a restaurant and near streets, i guess street food Batchoy i prefer, i feel that their ingredients are more natural as i can see the soup is taken from the boiling huge cooker seeing the big bones of beef, i ask the chef about it and he mentioned that it is just water with salt and beef bone.
