Pancit Palabok, simple procedure

If there's only one thing I'd like to order in our favorite fast food chain is the pancit palabok. I can't get enough of this delicious authentic Filipino dish. Pancit is very famous in Malabon, Metro Manila. They have all the varieties of pancits like pancit bihon, pancit palabok and their very own pancit Malabon. I thought that this recipe is too good for me to learn but I was wrong! To avoid too much spending from buying my favorite pancit in Jollibee stores, I tried to learn the best way as I can to make my own version of pancit palabok. Of course, I don't intend to copy the commercial way of cooking, my own ability is enough to make the best pancit palabok in town (twink).

What I like most about pancit palabok is the healthy ingredients and the benefits you can get from it. As we usually see in common pancit palabok toppings, there are eggs, seafoods, tinapa and herbs which are certified healthy foods. Unlike any other noodle recipes, this one is different, hindi nakakasawa! Eating a plate of pancit can subsitute to your regular breakfast meal.
