Pansit Cabagan from Balay Kainan, San Miguel, Bulacan

We passed by Balay Kainan in San Miguel, Bulacan on the way to Minalungao National Park in Nueva Ecija. The eatery offers affordable short orders, meals and viands.

We decided on a bilao of Pansit Cabagan to go. Frankly, I have not heard of Pansit Cabagan before and was eager to know what it tastes like hence the decision to get it over Pansit Malabon and Pansit Bihon.

Don't let the name turn you off. No, hindi ka outright kakabagan (you won't get gas pains outright) when you eat this noodle dish. At least we did not. You are more than likely to get gas pains from laughing at the jingles of people running in the barangay elections being held today. Anyways, apparently, Pansit Cabagan originated from Cabagan, Isabela. Balay Kainan's version of Pansit Cabagan has fried egg, pork, carrots and cabbage on sauteed thin egg noodles on an oily slightly salty sauce. Since we got ours to go, they placed the sauce in a separate plastic bag and tucked several pieces of calamansi in another.

It's like a saucy pansit canton with fried egg and thinner noodles minus a shrimpy taste. The noodles can hold on its own but the sauce packs a lot of flavor so remember to mix that in with noodles along with the calamansi to cut through the oiliness. My siblings hogged the sauce so I was left with just noodles at one point. The P150 bilao was too much for our party of five to consume in one sitting.

On the way home, we dropped by Balay Kainan once more to take out, this time, two bilaos of Pancit Cabagan. They were that good.
