(2/3) How about Philippine noodles?
* Filipino language: pancit
* Tagalog language: pansít (ᜉᜈ᜔ᜐᜒᜆ᜕)
* Binisaya: bam-i
* and so on.
It is an umbrella term for everything Philippine noodles, be it instant or non-instant.
There are a lot of noodle types in the Philippines, the most common ones are:
1. bihon
2. canton
3. lomi
4. mami
5. miki
6. miswa (sometimes spelt as ‘misua’)
7. odong
8. palabok
9. sotanghon
These type of noodles are also used to categorised the dishes made from it; sometimes the dish name contains the noodle used. For example, “bihon guisado”.
It is also sometimes used as the name of the dish itself, for example, the noodle used for “palabok” can either be the palabok noodle or the bihon noodle. And then, there are the regional variations.
Confused? Don't. We use the name of the noodle type to refer to the different pancit. If we want to look for a specific taste, that is the only time we add a “modifier” (if you will).
