Pancit Habhab or Pancit Lucban is a pancit version that originated from the Quezon province. This noodle dish might look like the traditional
Pancit Canton, but there are some notable differences. Pancit Habhab uses dried flour noodles which are known as miki Lucban. These are not the same noodles used in pancit canton; it is also different from the fresh miki noodles, which are made fresh and have softer texture. This pancit version is served over a piece of banana leaf and is eaten without any utensils. How? Imagine eating a sandwich. You will need to grab the banana leaf with noodles and put it directly to your mouth. Don’t eat the banana leaf though. I’m not sure if Miki-Lucban is available in some Filipino stores in the US. We got this from our good friends as a pasalubong from their Philippine vacation. This is best eaten with vinegar. I usually put about a teaspoon of cane vinegar for every serving.
