Notes
Another renowned pancit favorite is Quezon’s Pancit Habhab. This is made
popular not just because of the way it was prepared but mainly because of the
way it was consumed. It was eaten the habhab way, sans the use of spoon or
fork. This pancit is served in a banana leaf instead of a plate and eaten by the
mouth, just like the way you eat a sandwich. Pancit Habhab is very famous,
especially during Pahiyas Festival because food carts roaming around the streets have this on offer.
