La Paz Batchoy has many versions in cooking. Though Batchoy is the most common name for it, but to give credit for the soup's inventor they called it La Paz because it's origin came from La Paz Iloilo City. But whatever they called it I love Batchoy, especially when it rains. Perfect!
this made me so hungry really! so craving and thinking of it now! xx

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I'll give this a try once I have my own kitchen. ^_^
it's been a longgggg time since I've tasted this!.. i don't trust me to prepare and cook this yet.. not yet, in the future, maybe! lol!
the best Batchoy I tasted is not in La Paz but in Bacolod...hahaha at Bar21 :) We did try to cook this but somehow it does not taste the same because it is not just the broth but the noodle too. maybe we should try again using your recipe ;)
