ADVERTISEMENT“Pansi” is an Ibanag term for pancit and is considered as a “complete” local noodle dish by the locals. At lunchtime on Thursday, a giant Pansi Cabagan was served to the villagers a part of the town’s week-long Pansi Festival. The dish was placed in several native woven trays or baskets that were laid out at the Cabagan Square Park to form the numbers “2020,” referring to the current year. Villagers and restaurant owners helped prepare the dish using 200-kilograms of miki (thick noodles), 100-kg pork and fish, 200-piece quail eggs and chicken eggs, pork skin crackers, smoked fish, dried shrimps, tuna, squid strips and vegetables. Organizers said the dish was gone in 30 minutes.
