A Pancit is a Filipino rice noodle dish that is made with vegetables, pork and sometimes chicken depending on the type of pancit that you are to make. One of the most popular variants of pancit is the Pancit Lucban or Pancit Hab Hab.
Pancit Lucban or Hab Hab originated from the province of Lucban Quezon. For the locals, this dish is meant to be eaten off a banana leaf with no utensils, hence the term hab hab, from the slurping sound when eating it.
