Pancit Batil Patung of Tuguegarao, Cagayan

Pancit Batil Patung or Batil Patong is a noodle dish unique to Tuguegarao, Cagayan. It's something you have to try if ever you get to visit the warmest city in the country.

I got to try the one at Paul Louis in front of the old city hall. I asked if I could see the pancit being made in the kitchen. I guess the reason behind the name is that the sahog is simply placed on top of the noodles.

The meats include ground pork, beef or possibly even carabeef. They also add sauteed vegetables, crushed chicharon and fried egg. If you get the mega or jumbo size, they throw in liver and hotdogs. It's PHP40 for the super size which I had, and the mega and jumbo are PHP50 and PHP60 respectively.

They usually serve chopped onions and calamansi with the pancit. Make sure to ask the servers how to mix the onions, calamansi, vinegar and soy sauce with the pancit.

Gretchen's is another pancitan in front of the old city hall. Another suggested pancitan is Long Life in Barangay Tanza in front of Panacal Village. In many of these restaurants, they also sell Pancit Cabagan, which is the native pancit of Cabagan, Isabela but very popular in Tuguegarao.

  1. Hello Ivan
    I came across this pancit when several pancits were featured on tv. 100% PINOY on GMA 7 ata. Looked like a "mess" that time but this post proved me wrong. It looks very appetizing. As if looks matter when it comes to food LOL

    The best ang pancit cabagan lalo na if you'll sprinkle it with suka. I i remember it right Rose ang tatak ng suka nila.

    Ow, I like batil-patung so much. I'm craving for it everytime.

    Everytime I go for a vacation in Aparri, I used to cut trip to tuguegarao just to eat pancit batil-patung. it makes me complete my vacation.

    The last time I eat batil-patung, it was only Php30 for special, and now it is already Php45 but look at the size it is almost good for 2.

    The best panciteria today in tuguegarao is Jay-rens, located at diversion road before the diversion bridge from florida terminal. Only a few blocks away from florida terminal in diversion road.
