BATIL PATUNG, A VERY LOCAL VERSION!!!
Batil Patung
Batil means mix and patung means top or topping. The noodles in Batil Patung are the flat kind. The topping consists of sautéed beef or, I guess, carabeef, bean sprouts, sliced leeks, julienned carrots, crushed chicharon, meat loaf slices and fried egg. It comes with a cup of egg drop soup meant to be sipped or mixed with the pancit. Chopped red onions, calamansi and chili peppers are also served. The fifty-peso supper we had was huge enough for two people.
PANCIT CABAGAN!! YES, THOSE ARE QUAIL EGGS!!
Pancit Cabagan is said to have been introduced by a Chinese settler in the town of Cabagan in nearby Isabela province. It looks Chinese enough. The wet pancit has round noodles, julienned cabbage and carrots, boiled quail eggs and a generous heap of lechon de carajay slices or chicharon. It comes with the sweeter white onions, calamansi and egg drop soup.
