Region 2 - Delacacies in Cagayan region Pancit Batil Patung If there’s only one dish you have to try while in Cagayan, most locals would recommend Pancit Batil Patung. This iconic noodle dish that originated in Tuguegarao City is made of fresh miki noodles topped with poached egg and assorted toppings like sautéed meat, bean sprouts, vegetables and chicharon. What makes it really unique is the use of carabeef or carabao meat, which has a distinct gamey flavor. A special sauce of stirred-in, simmering beef stock and can be poured into the bowl, along with chopped onions and vinegar dip. Many small eateries around the province serve their own takes on this dish, but tourists recommend sampling it at Jomar’s Special Pancit Batil Patung.
