| “Pancit” is a Filipino dish (also spelled pansít), is a general term referring to various traditional noodle dishes in Filipino cuisine. There are numerous types of pancit, often named based on the noodles used, method of cooking, place of origin, or the ingredients. Most pancit dishes are characteristically served with calamansi.
With 7 Eleven Philippines they have recently introduced another collaboration under their Chef Creations this time with Claude Tayag, which features five Filipino dishes that also include his take on the “Pancit Palabok” or simply called “Palabok” as most locals would immediately identify this type yellow cornstarch noodles and the ingredients are entirely different from the traditional type of Pancit. |
The Chef Creations featuring Claude Tayag features five various Filipino dishes ranging from snacks to lunch meals. Previously, taking a closer look at Bicol Express was the first of many to try and experience his style and take on the popular cuisine. Since they’re new most of them are always not available to the 7 Eleven store, where this food item was acquired.
With the Palabok, this is not entirely made for lunch but rather to be a snack or post-lunch meal. The usual thing that most would have during their short breaks from work. It is entirely different from having a rice meal to having a lite snack, which is sometimes a good idea to have for those not into heaving eating.
Chef Claude’s Palabok
There’s no difference with the many iterations of what is a Palabok as you can see how it was packaged in a small bowl with a cardboard featuring the description of the product and the image of the featured collaboration with 7 Eleven under the Chef Creations branding.
When you open it up you’ll be surprised how the food portion isn’t enough to fill the bowl as previous mention why there’s not enough because of the product cost, ingredients, and the budget for the consumer has been put in mind to producing this dish to market to the majority.
Good Quality Let Down
The Palabok was definitely great and it has all the necessary flavours what it was known for. It’s just ‘not enough’ for a price, and it still understandable why this was slightly affordable due to the need for prepare and cook this dish is not the noodles. But the sauce/toppings that makes the meal.
It only has sample size of a hardboiled egg slice and there’s no calamansi included to balance the sauce/topping with the noodles mixed together. It retains all manner of quality and taste and yet there’s still lacking in this Palaboik that you won’t notice.
Overall the quality and taste retains all that is a Palabok it’s the size portions that make it completely off putting, and yet Chef Calide Tayag pulled it off in making an affordable dish out of this in a sense a remarkable feat but it lacked something that most palabok ever have and that’s making you full.
- Food Quality: 3.5 out of 5
- Affordability: B
- Overall: Food Portions and the lack of for being called a "Merienda" (Afternoon Snack).
