Pancit, borrowed from the Chinese, then innovated and adopted into our cuisine, connects us to our Asian roots. But more importantly, it is a veritable Pinoy comfort food — easier to cook than rice, and more versatile and food combination-friendly. It is the faster fast food. In fact, “pancit” is derived from the Hokkien “pian i sit,” which means “something conveniently cooked fast.”

This is a dish that has large significance as it’s a dish that represents long life, long relationships, and long prosperity. This dish is PANCIT!!! And we have many versions of it.
Pancit Batil Patung is a popular noodle dish in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan. It is composed of two parts: the noodles with toppings, and the sauce which looks like an egg drop soup. Poached egg along with sautéed meats and vegetables are topped over the fresh miki noodles, while a piece of egg is cracked and stirred-in simmering beef stock and poured in a bowl. Both components should be present when eating this dish to experience optimal flavor. The sauce is gradually poured over the noodles and meat and it is further enhanced by adding a tablespoonful or two of the chopped onion and vinegar dip. The beef stock that makes the batil is traditionally prepared using carabeef.
Luckily, there's another new Panciteria in #Tuguegarao which opened this year on March that offers a different Pancit Batil Patung which is very trending in the city.
Adding slices of lechon carajay on top will definitely seal the deal but today's top featured Panciteria has it all: overloaded toppings indeed.

Chong's Panciteria is located along the street of RGT Bulaluhan, near the Barangay Hall of the place. The store is open from Monday to Sunday (9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.). They offer the following:
70 "Golpe"
80 "Nagolpe"
100 "Naggogolpe Ngana" with Carahay Chicharon Bulaklak
*all are served with ground liver and vegetables*
Here's a unique pro TIP: you have the option to order unique toppings: "Brain of Carabao"
It sounds so strange but it is a perfect match of their pancit, I swear. It is really a must-try.
The name of their Pancit is based on the word GOLPE which means over or murder. Basically, the root word has been used in different levels of comparison to indicate the variations of pancit to be ordered (regular, special, extra special). Truly, a food porn for pancit version because it is picture perfect.
They also serve the following street foods:
Tokneneng 12/pc kwek kwek 4/pc okoy 5/pc Kalamares 4/pc Shanghai 5/pc Lumpiang Gulay 4/pc siomai 5/pc.
