Saturday, June 02, 2007 Best lechon, pancit in Sine Totoo
IN a country where public affairs programs often bring viewers nothing but bad news, the show 100 percent Pinoy stands out for consistently featuring the best of the Filipino.
Today, Sine Totoo presents two of the highest rating 100% Pinoy episodes ever -- a show on mouthwatering lechon and one on creative variations of Pinoy pancit.
Discover the delightful nuances of the Philippine lechon as 100 percent Pinoy hosts travel from Davao to Cebu to La Loma in Manila in search of the country's best.
Listen in as top lechon makers debate the merits of hand roasting a pig versus machine-turning it, or using pineapple marinade instead of soy sauce in their recipes.
Then try out some unusual noodle mixes. One Laguna town's popular pancit can be eaten only by hand -- another is topped with ketchup and a fried egg!
Find out how various towns use their homegrown ingredients to enjoy noodles in very different ways.
Two of Filipino cuisine's most celebrated dishes -- lechon and pancit -- are also proof positive of Pinoy ingenuity and creative use of materials.
They are just some of the reasons we love being Pinoy.
Enjoy them in today's episode of Sine Totoo with Howie Severino, 11:45 p.m. over GMA Network.
