La Paz, faster

Jollibee's new La Paz Batchoy style noodle soup (P28 solo, P25 with value meal) introduces La Paz Batchoy to a generation unfamiliar with Filipino noodle soups. The serving is small, not much bigger than a cup of rice, but the presentation is effective because of the specially designed serving bowl. The requisite slice of egg is there, along with a good amount of chicharon bits. I wouldn't say it's much different from the instant variety taste-wise, but it beats boiling water and waiting for three minutes. One look at it and you will already feel warm, a nice treat for a cool rainy July day.
