Pairing Pancit correctly — a note on San Miguel beer

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Pancit. I ordered it with San Miguel beer and the subtly sweet and sour elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. annatto seeds in particular became more prominent in a good way.

kamayan feasts eaten with hands from banana leaves are experiencing a cultural revival. The a turo-turo cafeteria is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Pancit with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
