Batchoy at Tita Annie’s Victoria Plaza Davao City Mindanao – fail!

By Taga Mindanao, on November 18, 2009

Davao City, Food, Mindanaoan Update

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Upon my mom’s prodding, we decided to eat at Tita Annie’s at Victoria Plaza, Bajada, Davao City in a recent trip to my hometown Davao. I was craving for batchoy at that time so I ordered the Tita Annie’s special batchoy.

Batchoy is basically comprised of sweet meat broth, slices of meat and pork innards, spring onions, garlic and other taste enhancers plus fresh noodles. Batchoy is usually topped off with crushed pork cracklings (chicharon).

So you can just imagine my dismay when this was served to me:

Not only did it taste bland, I particularly didn’t like the fact that the chicharon wasn’t crushed. Instead of being extra toppings, the pork skin cracklings looked as if they were “part” of the meal itself. Ayayay.

Meal wasn’t worth it. That was a disappointment.

What about you guys? Have you been disappointed with a meal you ordered recently?

@John – thanks for visiting my blog. Can you do something about your waitresses, too? I forgot to include my comments about them. The cashier lady was just too talkative and her voice was just too darn loud. She also gave orders to your male cook as if she was like Hitler or something. Not a good impression to paying customers.
