Pancit Malabon

How to make Pancit Malabon recipe - Pancit Malabon differs slightly from pancit luglug, with the toppings and the sauce which is already tossed in. Versions of this noodle dish are ever evolving. A recently concocted version has fried semi-ripe plantains or saba bananas as topping. Gene Gonzalez
