For wealth and long life! Ito ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit tayong mga Pilipino madalas maghain at kumain ng pansit tuwing may okasyon gaya ng birthday o bagong taon. Pero alam niyo ba na ang paniniwalang ito ay impluwensiya sa atin ng mga Tsino? Ngayong Huwebes, espesyal ang ang ating foodtrip sa Pinas Sarap. Samahan si Kara David magtungo sa bansang pinagmulan ng Pansit, ang China!

Susuyurin ni Kara ang Xiamen City sa Fujian Province, para tikman ang iba’t ibang authentic Chinese pansit gaya ng Sha Cha Mian, isang noodle soup na ginagamitan ng peanut sauce, at chao guo tiao o rice cake stir fried noodles. Pero meron ding Chinese pansit na nahahawig sa mga Pinoy favorites gaya ng Chao mi fen na tila bihon guisado, at ang Lu mien na nahahawig naman sa canton guisado. Perfect naman sa mga vegetarian ang ibinibidang pansit sa isang kainan sa naputuo temple, ang putuo fensu na walang halong anumang karne.

Sa Gulangyu Island, tila performing art ang paggawa ng noodles. Sinasabayan kasi ng maindayog na paggalaw at malakas na sigaw ang paggawa ng Pansit sa suan la fen o spicy and sour noodles. Susubukan naman ni Kara ang sining ng noodle hand pulling para gumawa ng sariling noodle na ginagamit sa La Mian.
