Attend a big family gathering or fiesta in Malabon district of Manilla, and you’ll very likely find a big bilao, a round woven rattan platter, piled high with pancit malabon, a delicious noodle and seafood dish that is one of the specialities of the region. Considering that the Philippines is more than 13,000 kms away, it is probably a lot easier to get a taste of this delicious dish from one of our city’s many talented Filipino chefs, like Hannah Grace Medalla.

Puto
These white steamed wheat buns, like their Chinese cousins, bao, are delicate and fluffy, lightly sweet and fragrant, only one of the many of sizes, shapes, colours, and flavours of puto that complement a wide range of Filippino meals.
Pancit Malabon
This classic dish is made with thick cornstarch noodles tossed in a red-orange sauce which gets its colour from achuette (annatto), and flavour from shrimp broth and luscious crab fat. It is topped with a mix of shrimp, napa cabbage, hardboiled eggs, crumbled chicharron, scallions and wedges of lime.
Also available #vegetarian with a turmeric-infused sauce, topped with eggs and vegan ’scallops’ (king oyster mushrooms)
Cassava Cake
This rich, creamy, custard is made from a mix of evaporated and condensed milks thickened with eggs, sugar, coconut and grated cassava. Somewhere between a cheesecake and flan, it has a rich, toothsome texture and an inviting coconut and caramel aroma.
Shrimp, Vegetarian, or 1/2+1/2
