Dear MM, did i miss your answer to the query as to what brand of sardines you use? My husband has been complaining that lately, our favorite brand tastes too fishy or malansa. Can you recommend a brand please?

I’m a retired soldier and this recipe brings back memories of the early 80s when I was assigned as a Constabulary detachment commander in the hinterlands of Valencia, Dimiao, Batuan, and Sevilla, all in Bohol.

Our mess (military term for food or meal) consisted mostly on what we can spare from our vegetable garden, but we were supplied with boxes of sardines from Tagbilaran. I asked my Mess Sergeant to give our mess a kind of variety, so we had sardinas con pechay, etc., and of course, odong with sardines almost all of the time when we were on alert waiting for the attack of the enemy.

I lived on this for three years! Hahaha…

MRJP, its a wheat noodle with egg and different flavorings…some are just O’Dong Special, others squid or even crab flavoring… I guess it is the size and the consistency that differentiates it. Is seems more solid than a regular pancit noodle. It is bizarrely sold in these tiny portions as well…

Hmmm, oo nga no? If it’s big in the Visayas, bakit nga wala sa Manila nito? Is it made out of flour? Flour with egg? What does it taste like?
