Being an Ilongga, I grew up eating pancit molo, sipping its hot clear soup and consuming its meat-filled noodles. In college, I discovered that other people called it "ulo ng madre" (probably because the molo has an excess noodle part which looked like the veils of the nuns). Actually I don't know how it came about, but i think it was a variation of chinese dumplings and a distant relative of the italian tortelinni.
Among the pancit molo I have tried, only one has remained my favorite..the one homemade by Ramehi Foods. Based in Iloilo City, you'll know that they use the right combination of ingredients unlike others that have gummy noodles and unpleasant smell. The pancit molo of Ramehi Foods has noodles that are thin and light, and nice egg-y aroma. Available in selected supermarkets in Iloilo City, all you need then are chicken pieces, garlic, onions, chicken cubes, water and green onions. Then viola! You have your own bowl of pancit molo. You could also try their molo wrapper if you want to make your own filling. I have tried using it for my siomai (actually not my recipe, I just buy the Magnolia prepared siomai filling), it turned out great. For orders, just contact Monet of Ramehi Foods at (033) 509-6026.
