The Pancit Habhab recipe necessitates that the dish is often served with vinegar as a sort of garnish to be poured over the Pancit Habhab before eating it and is also served on a banana leaf.

Lastly, what makes eating pancit habhab a different experience is that you are not supposed to use your hands or to use any kind of utensil in eating it.

Thus, the name pancit “habhab” as “habhab” means to eat with one’s mouth.

After pouring vinegar on the pancit, you have to take the pancit habhab as close to your mouth and eat it from the banana leaf.
