I can now cross out Inggo's Lapaz batchoy on my to visit/eat list as I finally visited it's branch at the back of Robinson's Place Iloilo a week ago. Despite the searing noon time heat I braved the unfamiliar part of the city to satisfy my curiosity for this Lapaz batchoy. The ambiance of the batchoyan was reminiscent to that of La salette building before it go renovated with Ted's nat's or even Oak Barrel, it was atypical modern batchoyan caught between the past and trying to be "in" at present. It was like a deja vu of sorts. I read a lot, heard and seen this batchoy before and since then my curiosity heightened especially on its claim to be the "original" beating the other "original" (Deco's) by 17 years. On tarpaulins, Inggo claims to have been serving batchoy since 1921 compared to 1938 of Deco's. But enough of who's original claim! It's time for the real thing ... So I got the biggest bowl of Inggo's Lapaz ...
