So, Lucban isn't part of Marinduque anymore but on our way back we did a side trip here. We spent around 30 mins to an hour at this old historic town of Quezon Province.
Some of us checked out the old church which was founded around the 1500s. The church and town is very old world. We bought some Lucban longganisa (sausages) and other local delicacies like banana chips and lady finger biscuits from the famous store in Lucban: Eker and Ely Store. I also bought a wooden whisk called "batidor" that is used to mix tablea (chocolate) to make it foamy and thicker. They're authentic and cheaper if you buy from Lucban.
And since I love the local noodle dish called Pancit Habhab I bought two orders from one of the stores beside the church selling them. It tasted so good even without the vinegar that you usually mix it with. One thing I've noticed from the pancit habhab in Lucban is that it does not contain meat but only vegetables unlike the ones they sell in Manila. But it was still flavorful nonetheless. A trip to Quezon, for sure, will never be complete without buying Lucban longganisa and Pancit Habhab.
