One of my favorite food trip buddies is Nezte Virtudazo.  We have been to countless of food trips in the past couple of years and recently we checked out BatchoyHouse328 and tried out their batchoy with bone marrow and also their halo-halo.

I am a big fan of batchoy.  One of my favorites in Cebu was Carlo's Batchoy in Capitol Site area.  Unfortunately, the place closed down recently and I have been looking for a good place to eat batchoy in the Capitol site area.

Batchoy is a noodle soup that has pork innards and pork cracklings.  This dish came from Ilo-Ilo specifically in La Paz.  It became popular all over the country to the point that a national noodle brand makes an instant version of this Illongo dish.

Aside from the noodles and innards, one of my favorite components of batchoy is its broth.  I love sipping the broth, especially after a beer-drinking session.  I normally eat batchoy with pan de sal and I always have one with egg.

A couple friends of mine told me to check out #Batchoyhouse328.  This new batchoy place is owned by Vance Borja, the man behind some of the best places to eat in Cebu.  I was a big fan of his Uncle Noodles shop in Mango Square.

I wanted to eat there for weeks but it always gets postponed until one day, Nezte picked me up in my house because he wanted to go to a Kalami Cebu Food Trip.  Thanks to Google, we were able to locate BatchoyHouse328 easily.

 We both ordered Batchoy with BMW or Bone Marrow.  The special batchoy is at 65 pesos and you add 15 pesos for a scoop of bone marrow.  I also bought some pan de sal.

 After our meal, we were able to sample their delicious halo-halo.

 The batchoy was spot on.  The bone marrow made it an instant favorite since I am into offal.  I love sipping the broth and the servings were just right.  I wanted to have another bowl but their broth was not ready then.  I will definitely go back here when I crave for batchoy.  The halo-halo was an excellent meal ender.  It rounds everything out.  The contrast between hot and cold, and savory and sweet, makes it an awesome rollercoaster ride towards a #happytummy. 

 Nezte and I really had an amazing time.  We plan to do more Kalami Cebu Adventures this summer so watch for our future adventures.  If you want to come with us, just hit me up with a comment and maybe we can do a food trip together.
#Batchoyhouse328 is open from 3-10 pm and you can call them 032-5149310.

When news broke that Itchoy Batchoyan had reopened its doors, my heart did a little dance of joy. The unassuming eatery nestled in the heart of Cebu City had become a cherished haven for many, offering more than just food; it provided comfort, solace, and a sense of community during the tough times of the pandemic and beyond. In a city known for its bustling food scene, Itchoy Batchoyan still found a way to stand out. During the pandemic, I never stopped exploring and looking for the best local eats.  One of my most exciting discoveries was this unassuming Batchoyan and Paresan. I remember the first time I walked through its doors, drawn in by the aroma of familiar Filipino comfort foods. Batchoy,  beef pares, Sisig, Crispy Kare-Kare, and Lechon Kawali were just a few of the fantastic creations that awaited those lucky enough to discover this culinary haven.  The eatery back then had a "dirty kitchen" were you can watch how the delicious food are made.

Wing Night Part I: Bad Boys Wingz- Another Awesome Chicken Wing Place in Cebu

Image
In the past year, there have been several restaurants in Cebu that wants to claim "The Best Wings Place in Cebu" title.  The introduction of several chicken wing places cannot outpace the demand for delicious and spicy chicken wings. It is definitely a booming segment as many  Cebuanos flock to their favorite wing place.  Recently, I had a "wing night" with my wife and we restaurant-hopped in two of the best chicken wing places in Cebu. First, we visited the newly opened Bad Boys Wingz right across Bright Academy in Talamban. This wing place used to be a small, but very popular food stall at the BTC and because of the high demand of chicken wings, the owners opened a stand-alone restaurant. I would say it was an excellent decision because they really serve one of the best chicken wings in Cebu.
