One of my close friends had a baby shower-slash-potluck over the weekend. I initially planned on buying a tray of sandwiches or a couple of large pizzas for the party, but my other friend coordinating the get-together insisted that I prepare a homemade dish, even going as far as delegating Pancit Malabon to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no complaints, as I haven't had this Filipino classic for a while, and I was eager to satisfy the cravings. Judging from the empty aluminum pan I brought the pancit in, everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Pancit Malabon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pancit Malabon is a traditional Filipino dish that originated in Malabon city, hence the name. Like most pancit, it's commonly served during fiestas or special occasions on a bilao, a flat-round container of woven bamboo, rattan, or wood, which adds to the \u201cnative feel\u201d of the dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's made of thick rice or cornstarch noodles and a yellow-orange-hued sauce that draws flavor and color from achuette (annatto seeds), shrimp broth, and crab fat. The array of toppings reflects the abundant coasts of the area where fishing was once a major livelihood, and it's common to find it heavily laden with harvests from the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
