Aside from Ilocos empanada and bagnet, one of the local specialties you can try when visiting or passing through Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur is pancit miki. Ilocos-style Miki is a reddish-orange noodle soup with white miki noodles and a hard-boiled egg topped with crunchy chicharon bits. The miki broth gets its distinctive color from achuete or annatto, a coloring agent with a subtle flavor used in dishes like kare-kare and Pancit Malabon. You can sample these in street-side eateries like Mami Bel’s near the Batac Church and near the Vigan Plaza in Ilocos Sur.
