It symbolizes long life, the reason it is always.served. Pansit. Noodles. This noodle recipe that is made out of rice.sticks sauteed and mixed.with vegetables--carrots, cabbage, and beans and plus chicken or.pork.too. That is just the simple ingredients. But if we want.the noodles to be "sosyal" or level.up, quail eggs, squid.balls are being added.too. This is what is usually prepared or present in a typical Filipino birthday party. Do you have any food that is considered "always present" on birthdat.parties? *This is it...pansit!

A funny entry @Lucky15 but you are right, noodles are always present in a birthday party though I think if it's a children party, rather than pansit, they opt to have spaghetti instead to appeal to the children's taste buds! As for me, I like my pansit with lots and lots of calamansi or lemon

@Lucky15 Oh yes! Lemon would do too... when we were working abroad, finding calamansi was difficult and when you do find a bunch, it's too expensive compared to getting lemons. So I can say that I got used to using lemon to food that needs calamansi.

That looks a very nice dish. I guess we'd often have cheesecake or trifle at a birthday party. But mostly it's a personal thing.
