Super Q Special Palabok

This is also a cornstarch-based noodle that is very similar to our Super Q Golden Bihon.  The only difference is the strand – palabok is much thicker.  It needs longer time to cook due to its thickness.

While this type of noodle is very popular among Filipinos, people in different countries around the globe have accepted it as a substitute to their own dishes.  It is also attractive to those who have a preference for thick noodles.
