Pancit Canton of DJC
Not only does DJC make very good halo-halo, they also make a very delectable pancit canton. As I mentioned in my first entry about DJC, they also serve good food and one thing that I really like, is their pancit canton. It was something that I never expected that something so familiar was also something very delicious. Of course, they always serve if hot. It was good with their toasted siopao.
Inside DJC
Where to Find
DJC at Tiwi, Albay. But now, you can have it here in Legaspi City. It is situated in LANDCO shopping complex. They have a separate store from the mall and is near the parking area. They also have a new branch at Naga City along Magsaysay Boulevard. Not only they make great halo-halo, but they also have a pancit canton that I truly like. Pa-Canton ka naman!!!

I was invited by my good friend to taste one of his favorite Chinese dish in Binondo. At first, I told him that we can have it inside the mall but he insisted that the “best way to enjoy Chinese food is in Chinatown”. So, I gave-in to his suggestion and we went to this restaurant that has been an institution. He told me that as early as 1970s, he has frequented the place and it never failed his expectation and satisfaction.
We ordered Maki. This is a stick pork soup. Although, I use to have maki at other restaurants, the Maki of Manosa was very much different when it comes to taste. It was a superb dish that they have created. It was no doubt that it is one of the best maki that I tasted.
But before we went there, we ordered some toasted siopao from a shop near Mañosa to complement the maki. What made it more delicious is to eat siopao, maki, pancit guisado and jasmine tea.
It was a very delicious food experience and a wonderful way to have a sumptuous meal along Ongpin, Binondo. Toasted siopao and maki of Mañosa is a perfect food combination. I interviewed one their waitress and she told me that Manosa has been in Ongpin for the last 75 years.
No wonder that they have perfected what a real maki should be. It nearing Divisioria time again and I can’t wait to go back and try some more good food at Ongpin Mañosa.

Pancit Canton at Orchids Hotel
Pancit Canton has always been known to us. I have a secret that was revealed to me by my friend Eric Medina from Pasig. The Pancit Canton of Orchids Hotel is surely a knock out!!! My wife and I went to this drive-in hotel in Pasig to check if this suggestion in true. Alas!!! It was a revelation! The pancit canton of Orchids Hotel will surely entice you to its spell. They have expert cooks and a busy kitchen that you will appreciate.
Pancitg Canton at Orchids Hotel
We ordered for the medium size and when it came, we did not even expect that it is that big. It is a about 4 inches thick, full of chicken, shrimps, leaks, calamari, squid balls, pork, carrots and some other vegetables. It comes with an additional sauce that when you mix it with the pancit canton, it makes the combination even tastier.
Outside Orchids Hotel
Orchids Hotel is located at Hillcrest drive( Henry Javier st) and Shaw Boulevard. That is a drive-in hotel but you may come in just tell the attendant that you will order food. You may order also per Bilao (native platter). They are very good in their customer service and they will really entertain you. As a matter of fact, the chef is the one who handled our order. JVery accommodating and nice people. When you are in Pasig, don’t forget that there is a hotel where pancit canton is very delicious. Magpacanton ka naman!!! Advance Happy Valentines Day!!!
