Pancit
Yesterday I spent nearly the whole day cooking pancit canton - enough pancit for us and to give to our landlady upstairs and to my mom! It was Trevor’s birthday and when there’s birthday there has to be long noodles. 
I guess the pancit canton wasn’t too bad. I put all the usual vegetables (had to run to the nearby market for carrots -didn’t realize we ran out - and I thought the carrots at 7 pesos each were quite expensive though) - and added cauliflower. I also used shredded chicken meat, some shrimps and hard-boiled quail eggs.
Despite pancit, from the Hokkien word pian i sit, literally “something conveniently cooked fast”, I took all day because I’m slow and cooking had to be done in two batches because all the pancit wouldn’t fit in our wok.
Asel came over to pick up the pancit for my mom. She brought over some of my post, and two t-shirts, gifts from my mom to Trevor. One t-shirt was bright orange and said “Local Style” on the front, and the other one had a print of a fierce-looking dinosaur that said “send more tourists, the last ones were delicious!”
And as if the pancit weren’t enough, we went out for dinner - Vietnamese noodle soup and fried noodles!
Anyway, I still have some pancit luglug and pancit bihon in the kitchen cupboard, and although I’ve done pancit bihon a few times before, I am not yet very happy with my recipe. Maybe later, I can also develop my own recipe for pancit luglug. Got some spaghetti noodles today too.
