Yummy Pancit Guisado

Pancit guisado is very popular to every Filipino. You can see and taste it almost in every occasion gathered by a Filipino family, especially in a birthday celebration. We have a saying “Pancit Pampahaba ng Buhay” (Pansit for a long life). I guess that’s why it is always served in the table in every birthday event.
