Pancit Malabon is a type of pancit, which means a stir-fried noodle dish. is extremely delicious, decorative, and most pleasing to the eye. It is sometimes called Pancit Luglug. Its origins are traced back to Malabon City (Part of Manilla) in the Philippines. Malabon is on the coast where most of the local fish markets are. The dish is often a yellow-orange color due to the use of annatto oil. It has a similar taste to Pancit Palabok. The main difference is the type of noodles used. An extremely thin noodle is used in Pancit Palabok in contrast to a thicker noodle which is used in this dish. It also has a very different cooking procedure. It is furthermore unique due to the wide variety of seafood topping used. In this recipe, we have used the most common seafood ingredients, but
feel free to add your own depending on availability at your local
market. For example, oysters and crabs pincher can be additional
toppings. It is often served at festive events or social gatherings. It is, however, seldom cooked in homes, but rather ordered on a Bilao from a restaurant.
