According to Chef Claude Tayag, this pansit choku en su tinta (a.k.a pansit pusit)—an heirloom black-noodle dish with squid cooked in its ink—used to be eaten only during Lent or at wakes. But now it’s served as daily fare in karinderias and informal gatherings. This pansit is popular among residents of Cavite’s coastal towns and fishing villages.
