In reply to Joseph D. Lansang. Yes, I've heard of this pancit called maklak as well. There is also a favorite soup of mine called tinolang maklak, which is a poor man's version of tinola with upo cooked in a la tinola sans the chicken. I like it better than the one with meat; it's healthy, cheap, and tasty :)

Hello Lalaine, i happened to google Pancit Upo and your recipe turned out on top of the list. I said to myself if it has annatto (atsuete), it must be a Kapampangan recipe. A long time ago, i recall my late father who ran a restaurant in Baguio City then cooking it. Pancit Maklak. Have you heard of it? So, i asked my older brother John ( a chef in his own right...got his cookng forte i guess from our Kapampangan parents). He replied, i will ask Recy our first cousin in Sta. Rita, Pampanga. It is Pancit Bahay, bijon with upo guisado with atsuete was her answer. So, for now let me call it Pancit Bahay. And wait for your answer that it is also called Pancit Maklak with your topper...Oyster Sauce! Cooking it asap. Btw, here's the link n PDI. Your new blg fan. Joe

Thank you so much, Ed. Although I feel so blessed to be able to work at home, I do miss my old job sometimes. Food is one thing our patients looked forward to and it was very rewarding to have brought them that joy.

I like to try your new recipe by just looking at the picture makes me crave for it as if I have tasted how jummy it is.

I love your blog and your kind face. As a small town physician who also attends a nursing home, I weep for those poor old folks you left behind. I'm certain they were spoiled with great meals. Good luck with your endeavor.
