This weekend I ventured up to the Buford Highways Farmers Market to get ingredients to cook Pancit, a traditional Philippine noodle dish. First off, the market was incredible. Organized by region and then by country, you could literally find anything you wanted. I learned that there was a difference in soy sauce from the Phillipines and from China/Japan/etc., tasted delicious samples from tacos to potstickers to mango juice and salivated over the abundant produce section (who knew there were multiple types of ginger?). I was excited to see an entire Phillipine's aisle and found the Pancit noodles and soy sauce I was searching for. We went home and made the Pancit and it was delicious! I was excited to tell my dad about making it as it brought back memories for him of my grandfather cooking Pancit for their family every so often (I am a quarter Filipino). While the food was delicious, I am even more excited to know that I can go back and explore the market more and cook cuisines from around the world.
