I can no longer recall when I first visited Chie Chie’s Batil Patung Makati back when they were still in another street, before their current location in Dian Street, but still in Barangay Palanan. I was deep in my obsession with this delicious Cagayan noodle dish. Pansit batil patung has always been my comfort food. I would eat it every time I visited the Cagayan Valley.
One time the craving hit so hard that I flew to Tuguegarao, stayed two nights, and ate batil patung every day. That dish has always been a good reason to return. When more pansit batil patung spots started opening around Metro Manila, I didn’t hesitate to try each one. The old shop near PRC in Makati, Chie Chie’s Batil Patung Makati, and another in Sampaloc near Legarda LRT became my usual stops.
Pansit batil patung is heavy, tasty, and full of character. Toppings have changed over the years. What used to be simple now packs in pork liempo, chicharon bulaklak, or even a thick fried pork chop.. It is a full meal in one bowl, and it never fails to hit the spot. And Chie Chie’s Batil Patung Makati? It’s tasty, affordable and never fails to satisfy. I just wish that they include garlic Tuguegarao longganisa like other similar eateries.
When the Michelin Guide released its latest selection, I felt proud that Chie Chie’s Batil Patung Makati earned a spot. A small eatery serving a beloved Cagayan dish, now recognized in a global guide. That feels personal. It also gives me another reason to return, sit down, and enjoy a bowl the next time I find myself in Makati. Soon.
