This is my all-time favorite food to eat in the palengke (wet market) back in the days. And every stall that sell this has a different top secret recipe that make theirs special or different from the others.
I still remember Ponching’s version of this delicious dish. He uses yellow thick noodles and the sauce is simply amazing. When he passed away, non of his relatives was able to recreate his special palabok. It must have been a closely guarded secret. You know the saying, “I’ll give you the recipe, but then I’ll have to kill you.
My palabok does use Mama Sita’s Palabok sauce mix. I am not that of a purist to make the sauce from scratch. I would have preferred Ponching’s sauce recipe but for now Mama Sita’s will do. Let’s start cooking.”
