"Not all panciterias serve an authentic and delightful Pancit Batil Patung. This one does."
Tuguegarao City, Cagayan – One of the things that Tuguegarao City is known
for is the appetizing Batil Patung. Batil Patung or Pancit Tuguegarao is made with miki Tuguegarao cooked in beef broth, and topped with several toppings
to include ground beef, chicharon, karahay, sliced liver, egg and vegetables.
Batil
Patung is actually a combination of Ilocano and Ibanag words. Batil means “to
stir” and Patung means “to lay on top”. This describes how the Batil Patung is
cooked and prepared. The chef would constantly “stir” the ingredients on a big
pan to ensure that the ingredients are evenly spread out and absorbed by the
miki. Once the miki is cooked, the ingredients are “laid on top” of the pancit
and it is now ready to be served.
It
is undeniably delicious and thus, it is not surprising that there are many
Panciterias in Tuguegarao City. However, not all of these Panciterias serve an
authentic and delightful Pancit Batil Patung – only few of them do.
One
of the panciterias that serves authentic Pancit Batil Patung is Alan’s
Panciteria. Owned by Kagawad Sheryll Alan and located in Annafunan East, Tuguegarao
City, Alan’s Panciteria had immediately gained popularity and praise from the
people of Tuguegarao City because of the mouth-watering and beefy Pancit Batil
Patung that it serves. Its
own version of Batil Patung is so rich in flavors that it is something that you
must try if you will visit Tuguegarao City.
