And that’s precisely why there’s more to Iloilo than the ubiquitous soup-based dishes of La Paz Batchoy and the Pancit Molo.
There’s the KBL, the acronym for the soup-based dish of kadyos, baboy, and langka (pigeon peas, pork, and jackfruit), which has another key ingredient of batuan, a sour tropical fruit endemic in Panay Island.
Then there’s also the rustic laswa, another soup-based dish made out of a variety of vegetables such as squash, okra, eggplant, patola, and tomato.
