Visiting Oton market

Today we went to the local market in Oton and you can buy anything. Especially if you are looking for fresh fish, fruit and vegetables at very reasonable prices compared to the local supermarkets. My good friend Inday also works there in a fruit stall so I visited her and was offered a delicious batchoy soup, a very well-known dish from the La Lapaz district of Iloilo. Read with me what is Batchoy, also a Filipino noodle soup with pig intestines, crushed pork swore, chicken broth, beef-loin and round noodles. The original and most popular variant, La Paz batchoy, originated in the La Paz district of Iloilo City, Philippines.
