When in Lucban, Quezon, in the Philippines, you won’t miss its famous pansit and longganisang Lucban or noodles and sausage. It’s everywhere — in restaurants, carinderia, beside the road, stalls, even in small variety stores. And vendors also peddle this small, bright red longganisa to every household they happen to pass by.
The smell and aroma of garlic wafting in the air make you salivate that you can’t help but buy this delicacy. And it’s a joy savoring this bite-sized longganisa’s flavor after it’s cooked in its fat. Paired with pansit Lucban, ah, your day is complete. And what’s interesting in pansit Lucban is that instead of squeezing calamansi juice all over it, the locals use vinegar to bring out its distinct but delicious flavor.
Lucban’s Buddy’s restaurant is famous for its pansit habhab, which, by the way, can also be bought everywhere in lucban.
But, aside from pansit and longganisa, Lucban is also known for its soft, chewy biscuits and cookies perfect for snacks or dessert.
Come, have a taste of Lucban! Visit the province as it celebrates its colorful and joyful festival in honor of its Patron Saint San Isidro Labrador come May. See you there!
