Bam-e, Pansit Bisaya

Bam-e, Pansit Bisaya is basically the same as to other guinisa pansit except probably to some ingredients or spices akin to or available to local Visayas. This guinisang mixed pansit canton and sotanghon for some reason it is called bam-e that I myself also can not explain. Anyway bam-e is regularly cooked by the owners of the flat I am staying here in Abu Dhabi, they are from Cebu. Bam-e is a party dish, whenever someone’s birthday, wedding or any other celebration these dish is part of the menu. In fact it was one of the dish prepared on our little New Year celebration.
