What others are saying
- ★★★★★
The flavors were spot on! My kids asked for seconds and even my picky husband loved it.
- ★★★★☆
The pancit was delicious, but the soy glaze was slightly too salty for my taste. Adjusted with a bit of water next time.
- ★★★☆☆
The vegetables were undercooked and the shrimp was a bit tough. Not my favorite version of Pancit Malabon.
