eh wala na talaga tatalo sa batchoy ni Ric Rugged sa tabi ng Mandurriao Church. Mura na, eh ayos lang ang mga rikado. Plus talaga masarap. Pangalan niya is Ric Araneta. Napakabait pa, marunong mag manage mga tauhan nya but most of all, napakasarap talaga batchoy niya. People like him will make you appreciate Iloilo cuisine. Keep it up Ric! I just wish you could expand and have more outlets all throughout the city as well as nationwide.

Farmers Batchoy and Oak Barrel was indeed the best batchoy restos way back late 70s and 80s, even before Teds. My family used to own these batchoyan and sadly we closed sometime late 90s. We the kids, may revive it though someday, hope our loyal customers would remember us and hopefuly bring their kids too as indeed batchoy is one of iloilo’s best known delicacy.

Sadly, Farmer’s Batchoy is no longer around. So is Oak Barrel Batchoy. I heard from somebody that the owners have migrated to Guam. I need confirmation that they indeed opened a new Oak Barrel in Guam.

I wish I had more time to stay in Iloilo. Friday didn’t help either – I was not able to eat Iloilo’s famous batchoy.

I took the early PAL flight from Manila to Iloilo. Picked-up by my niece from the airport, stopped by their house in Jaro and picked-up my cousin, then another cousin in La Paz, bought some goodies from Panaderia de Iloilo (unfortunately they ran-out of bingka) then proceed to Miagao for breakfast with another cousin. What a treat – chocolate E with ibos, aloy, galongong, tanguinge, petse-petse (this one is new to me) – I can’t remember all what I have eaten anymore.

I was able to hold myself when we visited our old house, but not enough when we were at the cemetery to pay respect to my parents, bother, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. My cousins also showed me the few parcel of lands that our ancestors have left us. Then we had snack in-between, then lunch, then snack again, then nap-time before going back to Iloilo for dinner of fresh tanguinge and other seafoods.

Flying back to Manila that night I brought with me bayi-bayi, kalamayhati, tablea (chocolate from cacao), dried cadios, and more baked goods from the airport store.

Next year, I will spend sometime to visit other places I missed.

I remember when I was a child, my Parents took me to “Farmer’s Batchoy” if I remember correctly it was right in front of SM Shoemart, this was back in the eighties. Growing up in La Paz and now a Resident of the United States, it was probably among the ranks of Ted’s and Deco’s. Man, those were the days.

After all the turkey, stuffings and desserts this last Thanksgiving Day, I am ready for Iloilo’s famous Batchoy. The only problem is, we can not get it here in the States. Last night, my wife made siopao. My sister-in-law and her Italian American husband and their son loved it. And you know what is kulang? Not Mami(what is that?). Iloilo’s Batchoy!!!
Inday diutay, manamit guid ang Batchoy, ano? Indi ka maka butig, kay I can see that expression in your face. Bon Appetit!
