I could only think of one soup that would make our Noche Buena extra-ordinary, it's won ton soup Filipino style or more popularly known as Pancit Molo.
This dish may have been greatly influenced by the Chinese, but with the Filipinos' love for modification, we can claim that this is our very own. Pancit Molo is named after one of the popular districts in Iloilo City. Originally, the recipe is consisting of combined pork and beef meat made into dumplings, now there are already recipes using ground chicken meat, suited for those who are more health-conscious.
The name Pancit Molo is a "noodle-less" dish but since the Molo wrapper is also made of flour and water just like any other noodles, this qualifies as such.
It is said that the original flavor of this dish can be tasted if it is prepared by one from the Lazaro clan in Iloilo as they are claimed to have the best recipe of the Molo. Maybe in one of my Iloilo trips I can ask my relatives there if this is true but for the meantime, of course my mom's Pancit Molo is still the best.
Here's a link for a recipe of this all-time hit. http://easypeasypinoyrecipes.wordpress.com/2009/05/01/ez-pz-pancit-molo-ala-tita-ditas/
