The Story Behind It

The Tale of Pancit Canton

Pancit reflects centuries of Chinese immigration and trade in the Philippines; the word derives from the Hokkien term for 'something conveniently cooked.' Noodles are traditionally eaten for birthdays to symbolize long life, a custom borrowed from Chinese tradition and fully adopted into Filipino celebration food.
