AT TED'S: CRAVING FOR BATCHOY FULFILLED
I visit Ilo-ilo city and it is not complete without tasting Lapaz Batchoy. When it comes to batchoy, I go to Ted's Old Timer La Paz Batchoy which originally started in La Paz, Iloilo City. It continues to grow franchising in different cities in the country. As I go to the counter, it is "pay as you order" system. I try their specialty the "extra super". I decide to go to usual noodle with pork slices, pork liver, pork intestines, crushed pork cracklings, tidbits of garlic and flavorful soup. My craving is more satisfied with puto (filipino steamed rice cake) as I dip on my batchoy soup. Everything is delicious and fulfilling for 160php only. You better have it here when you are in Iloilo City!#CelebrateWithTrip#tripblazers#MyTripVlog#foodie

PANCIT MOLO IN MOLO, ILO-ILO CITY
I craved for Pancit Molo-that which resembles Chinese Wanton Soup. Trip.com brings me from Manila to Ilo-ilo City. From the city, i ride on a jeepney and reach the municipality of Molo which was originally the Parian or China town. After eating Pancit Molo, i proceeded to Molo Church which is a National Landmark because of history and the only Gothic church outside Manila. I went to Molo Mansion and see its decorative carvings. True enough, learning is travelling. A lot of things I will never learn inside the classroom. Life is the biggest classroom. Travelling is the best vehicle for learning. Mabuhay!#ilo ilo#summervacation#spooktaculartrip#mytripvlog#historical church#pancit molo

JARO CATHEDRAL / MUSEO ILOILO
Jaro Cathedral, with the stairs leading to the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Candles is formally known as Jaro Metropolitan Cathedral. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Jaro, located in Iloilo City on the island of Panay in the Philippines. It was placed under the patronage of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary.
The present cathedral structure was finished in 1874. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1948 and later repaired in 1956.
Museo Iloilo was built in 1971. It is a provincial museum located besides the Iloilo Provincial Capitol in Iloilo City, Philippines. It is the first government-sponsored museum in the Philippines outside of Metro Manila. It houses a collection of Iloilo's cultural heritage.
Where to stay: Iloilo has plenty of hotels from 2 stars to 4 stars, your choice. For me, I stayed in the city proper, the Go Hotel, where shopping is just a walking distance away.
How to get there: you can take a taxi from your hotel to the museum and to Jaro Cathedral. You may also take a public transport, the Jeepney, to both places.
