for filipinos out here, we are very familiar with the well-loved lucky me pancit canton. you know what i really like doing with this? i eat it with rice. yup! with rice. it is very filling and satisfying and dousing it with a cup of coffee, that would give me a lot of energy. and what wouldn't? i just ate a plateful of carbs and oil. there is nothing nutritious about this combination. but i like it. i don't eat it too often though, as i know it is not good for the body. i used to do that when i was single, but ever since i got married more than a year ago, i think i only did that twice so far. and then today. i am pregnant. but then i smelled pancit canton early this morning, as the maids cooked their viand. they only had pancit canton. i asked for some. then i got some rice. then made myself a cup of very light coffee. hehe oh well, just this once. i had to give in. do you also do this? take care all and God bless you! :-)

Owmygad. Please don't do that again. You're not allowed to eat pancit canton or hotdogs. That's quite dangerous to your baby because of the level of preservatives contained in them. I know that there are people who ate them when they were pregnant and they're kids are "just fine" but think about it this way, your kid may turn out to be normal but he could have been "better" if you were more careful with what you ate :( I really hope pregnant women would listen to me. I gave the same speech to someone else and the next day she comes back with Spam for lunch! But yeah, I love pancit canton with rice...but I'd like to eat it with spam :} so that's a lethal combination. I rarely eat it though, because it's empty calories (not zero, just empty) :P

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Lucky me pancit canton is a staple food in our house. I just eat it as it i though.. putting rice will put weight on me too. LOL! Carbo overload. We also don't eat it often.. most of the time when I have nothing else to eat or a spur of th moment thing! LOL! Easy on the coffee though. It should be avoided by pregnant women. Enjoy your pancit canton.
