Pancit Puso - Cavite City Sellers

Pancit puso has its origins in the Galleon trade era, a time when Cavite engaged in significant trade with Chinese and Mexican immigrants.

Today, it can be easily found in public markets to daily merienda vendors and small food shops selling it on huge bilaos. This dish features two types of noodles - bihon and miki in achuete. It is typically adorned with vegetables like carrots, cabbage, green beans, chayote, pork, shrimp, and chopped chicharrón. It is accompanied by pickled palm heart, which imparts a tangy flavor, balancing out the richness of the dish.

In the past, calamansi was costly, leading to the use of pickled palm heart (puso) as an alternative, which eventually gave the dish its name.

Esti el quatro ta vindi na grande bilao el pancit puso aqui na ciudad
