Every
celebration especially birthdays, pancit is always one of the dishes that every
Filipino loves to serve. It says that if the birthday celebrant prepares pancit,
it will give him or her longer life. In many provinces or cities, they also have different kinds of pancit that they are proud to serve to their guests. Giving
example to Quezon province, where they have pancit lucban or pancit habhab, in
Malabon which is pancit Malabon, pancit estacion in Cavite and many more
specialties for me to mention the different mouth-watering kinds of pancit.
PON LO TAI Panceteria in Antipolo City near to Provincial
Capitol of Rizal and Ynares Center
Antipolo is not
famous when it comes to pancit, but there are some panciteria that offers
different kind of pancit. I was only 3rd year high school when I
tasted the dishes of the Pon Lo Tai Panceteria, many people after watching
events in the Ynares Center go to this Restaurant. They have known in the
Antipolo not only because of their pancit but also in their different dishes. PON
LO TAI has two branches, the first one is in Antipolo and the other is in
Taytay Rizal.
This Sunday
before we go to the church where I attend, my bestfriend and I went there, we
had a lot of things that we reminisced in that place specially the food that we
ate before, we describe it as it was like chopsuey that there was an egg on top
and four fried siomai, we laughed because we don’t know the name of that dish. We describe it to the waitress and she said
that it is Hototay, for those people who are really veggie lover I recommend
that dish. But of course we want to taste the specialty of the restaurant which
is the Pancit. The said Panceteria offers 4 different kind of pancit but their best selling pancit Miki Bihon is the one that we order
Miki Bihon
Their miki bihon
has two different toppings that you can choose; lechon or shrimp, it is not
only mouth watering but also affordable that two or three person can eat.
Chopsuey with lechon
We also ordered
chopsuey with lechon that everybody will love for sure. For those people who don't eat veggie, you should try this one =)
Even though this dish is not really originated here in the Philippines, Filipino made their own specialty in cooking this dish. When you feel so
crave to eat pancit, just go to Pon Lo Tai Panceteria or just call them to have
pancit delivery =) happy eating.
