Pancit Habhab or Pancit Lucban is a pancit version that originated from the Quezon province. This noodle dish might look like the traditionalย Pancit Canton, but there are some notable differences.

filipino pancit habhab recipe

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. Donโ€™t eat the banana leaf though.

Iโ€™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.

    Thanks for the posting of Pancit Habhab. I’m sure it’s delicious. But the original Pancit Habhab doesn’t have any other ingredient besides the special noodles, soy sauce, pepper and a bit of vinegar. The noodles itself has a special taste and doesn’t need anything else to accompany it. But of course, if you want a complete meal -- veggies and meat may be added. But majority of people from Lucban, Quezon and the nearby cities enjoy it the traditional way.
