- What's going on with the noodles?
(upbeat music)
- Hi, my name is Analiza,
and I'll be tasting other women's pancit.
- I only eat pancit at Filipino parties,
but I eat it a lot.
I love pancit (laughs).
- A lot of Filipino believe that pancit brings long life
or longer life.
So it's kind of a tradition to have pancit
in every celebration.
- The pancit has to have good and firm noodles.
If it's soggy,
no, no, no, no (giggles).
- My favorite ingredient in pancit would be chicken,
pork or fishballs.
(upbeat music)
- I'm ready to eat some pancit.
That sounded so Filipino (laughs).
- [Godfrey] I mean you are Filipino so what can you do?
(laughing)
- My perfect pancit is pancit with chicken
and nice medley of vegetables and mushrooms.
I love mushrooms in it,
and pancit bihon.
Don't be mad at me,
I love that.
- Ooh, pancit bihon.
I like that.
- This pancit smells amazing.
The first thing that I got was the whiff of like flavors.
Mm, can't wait to try.
- Mm, it looks a bit sad (laughs).
Why did you cut the noodles?
- The noodles are short.
They're short, the noodles are short.
They're not long
and really you're not supposed to cut pancit, this short.
It's like cutting spaghetti.
Italians don't like it.
- I just think maybe it needs more veg.
I don't know if this is mushroom.
Oh, there's mushroom in it.
- Never seen mushrooms in pancit before.
- Doesn't look pancit to me, I dunno.
The noodles, I'm quite disappointed in the noodles.
(joyful music)
- It's tasty.
It does need a bit more flavorings to it.
- Not getting as much of the flavors that I smell
when it first arrived.
More pepper than anything else actually.
- I could taste more than, mm.
What is that?
I feel like my tongue is like sticking together (laughs).
- It's nice that she added mushrooms to it.
I haven't seen that really in pancit before.
- I would like to have gotten crispier vegetables,
but otherwise it's okay.
But only, okay unfortunately.
- It's quite dull.
I give this pancit four out of ten.
I know you tried,
but I know you could do better.
- I'll give this seven out of ten.
- I would give this,
I would say a five out of ten.
(upbeat music)
- For my pancit I used both bihon and canton.
So it's a mixture of really thin glassy noodles
and like egg noodles.
My pancit I would say is fresh,
it's full of flavors
and the noodles is not soggy (laughs).
- Ooh, that's a lot (giggles).
- This looks hefty man,
you put a lot (laughs).
- Ooh, I like that.
It's mix two different types of noodles.
Oh, it's got fishballs.
- It does have fishballs.
They're in there, right there.
- The noodles again.
What's going on with the noodles?
Why is not long, the noodles?
- Only a couple of vegetables
and not that much chicken from what I can see.
From the smell I'm sure it'll taste really, really nice.
(upbeat music)
- I really like that actually.
It's got a really nice texture to it.
It's not overcooked or under cook,
it's perfectly done.
The noodles are cooked well.
- It looks really nice,
the presentable and everything like that.
And I think the tastes gonna be nice but,
I don't know what's that smell.
- The favorite thing about this dish is
I would say the crunchiness of the cabbage,
'cause everything else is obviously
a kind of similar texture
and I think the crunch is like bite to it.
You better stop me 'cause I'm gonna keep eating this.
- [Godfrey] Yeah, you better.
- This lady put a lot of love and effort into this dish
and it's delicious.
- I'm sorry, it's the smell.
I don't know,
but it's gonna have to be three out of ten.
I'm sorry, sorry.
- I'd give this pancit and eight out of ten.
- I would give this pancit nine out of ten.
(upbeat music)
- Well the ingredients I put in my pancit
it has obviously the vegetables,
the cabbage, the carrots.
I actually put some baby corn in there.
So hopefully they like my one.
- There's baby corn in it (laughs).
I've never seen that before.
So really interesting to see how that tastes with it.
- Oh my God, it smells so good, ah.
- It smells great.
This looks promising,
there's a lot of like vegetables
and chicken,
and I like that there's got baby corns in them.
I love baby corns.
- Okay, I think I'm gonna like this one.
- First off, I can already see
the noodles are noodles,
they're long.
- Hmm.
- It's good.
But it's dry.
There's not enough juice.
I like the baby corn in it.
- I really like that.
The noodles are cooked really well.
I like that the vegetables are not overly cooked
and even the baby corns are diced nicely,
look how cute that is.
- This almost tastes like my moms cooking.
Are you sure she didn't make this
and she's hiding away from me.
- This pancit tastes really good,
if you like it dry.
Some people might like that,
I don't know.
What a shame.
- I really like it.
I just think it needs a bit more seasoning.
I would give this one an eight.
- Everything was really good.
Mixed together really well.
I'd give it a nine out of ten.
- I would give this pancit a six out of ten.
(upbeat music)
- So my cooking is more traditional
and rustic rice noodles with chicken,
carrots,
cabbage,
homely, more for the family.
- Doesn't smell like the fish sauce that I would use,
it smells like there is like fish in here
and I don't really like fish.
- Mm, there you go.
Ooh, the noodles again.
First thing I noticed is the noodles are broken so.
- The pancit looks a little wet.
I think it's just over soaked.
- It's quite watery,
floppy.
- Anyway, it might be nice.
So let's give it a try.
- I'm really hesitant 'cause of the smell.
Oh I'm so,
I'm very fussy with fish.
So, it kind of put me off a bit.
(upbeat music)
- I'm tasting something
that I don't normally taste in pancit though.
There's an aftertaste,
I'm not sure what it is.
I'm trying to put my finger on it.
- It's quite lot (indistinct) in there,
fish sauce.
- I'm getting flavors of fish,
when it's a chicken pancit
it just doesn't make sense to my head.
I'm confused (laughs).
- Weird,
that's weird.
It looks really good
but there is something there that I'm tasting
that's just throwing me off a little bit.
- This is all right, it's okay.
I'll give it,
I'll give it five out of ten.
- I would give this pancit a six out of ten.
- I'd give this pancit a four.
I'm so sorry.
It's just not my cup of noodles.
(laughing)
(Analiza screaming)
- Yes.
What is the noodles.
It's long.
- Oh, that's so sad.
- Arg, I mean I tried, I tried,
you know I'm sorry I disappointed you guys.
