Pancit Malabon is not saucy or has lesser sauce compared to Pancit Palabok. Pancit malabon sauce is just enough to stick in the noodles. Pancit Malabon is cooked with thick round rice noodles.

It contains seafoods such as Tinapa Talaba and Pusit because Malabon is famous for their seafood market. Malabon natives would usually soak their rice noodles overnight before cooking rice noodles.
